This study offers a taxonomy that identifies eight different forms of algorithmic regulation based on their configuration at each of the three stages of the cybernetic process, drawing upon insights from regulatory governance studies, legal critiques, surveillance studies, and critical data studies to highlight various concerns about the legitimacy of algorithmmic regulation.

Algorithmic Regulation: An Introduction
A critical exploration of 'algorithmic regulation', understood as both a means of coordinating and regulating social action and decision-making, as well as the need for institutional mechanisms through which the power of algorithms and algorithmic systems might themselves be regulated.
When Big Data Meet Securitization. Algorithmic Regulation with Passenger Name Records

Algorithms as regulatory objects
- Robert Seyfert
- Sociology, Computer Science
- 2021
It is shown that regulatory processes are not just aimed at preventing certain algorithmic activities, but that they are also co-producing algorithms, which determine, in specific settings, what an algorithm is and what it ought to do.
RANDOMNESS, UNCERTAINTY, AND COGNITIVE FREEDOM IN THE DATA SOCIETY
- Kostiantyn Suspitsyn
- Philosophy, Computer ScienceThe Journal of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National…
- 2024
It is argued that freedom of action remains possible even under the dominance of Big Data, but requires the active preservation of randomness and the safeguarding of spaces for unpredictability in behavior.
Algorithmic Management and the Social Order of Digital Markets
- Georg Rilinger
- Sociology, Computer Science
- 2024
The paper argues that it can explain why platforms adopt more and less restrictive architectures by focusing on the design logic that informs their construction, and discusses how these criteria can be mobilized to explain the architectures of four illustrative cases.
The Algorithmic State Architecture (ASA): An Integrated Framework for AI-Enabled Government
- Zeynep EnginJon CrowcroftDavid HandPhilip C. Treleaven
- Computer Science, Political Science
- 2025
This paper introduces the Algorithmic State Architecture (ASA), a novel four-layer framework conceptualising how Digital Public Infrastructure, Data-for-Policy, Algorithmic Government/Governance, and GovTech interact as an integrated system in AI-enabled states.
The Biography of an Algorithm: Performing algorithmic technologies in organizations
- Vern L. GlaserN. PollockLuciana D'Adderio
- Computer Science, Sociology
- 2021
A biographical perspective on algorithms is introduced which traces their evolution by focusing on key “biographical moments” and can help management and organization scholars better understand organizational decision-making, the spread of technologies and their logics, and the dynamics of practices and routines.
Fourth Industrial Revolution and Algorithms: New Challenges for Policy Design
- Tanya HeikkilaAdam M. Wellstead
- Computer Science, Political Science

This chapter explores the role of algorithms that underlie these technologies and raises key-related considerations for algorithmic policy design, highlighting two important policy design outputs: trust and public value.
On social machines for algorithmic regulation
- N. CristianiniTeresa Scantamburlo
- Computer Science, Sociology
- 2019
The main contribution of this paper is to identify convergent social and technical trends that are leading towards social regulation by algorithms, and to discuss the possible social, political, and ethical consequences of taking this path.

It is argued that concerns about the legitimacy of these techniques are not satisfactorily resolved through reliance on individual notice and consent, touching upon the troubling implications for democracy and human flourishing if Big Data analytic techniques driven by commercial self-interest continue their onward march unchecked by effective and legitimate constraints.
Big other: surveillance capitalism and the prospects of an information civilization
- Shoshana Zuboff

Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig shows how code can make a domain, site, or network free or restrictive; how technological architectures influence people's behavior and the values they adopt; and how changes in code can have damaging consequences for individual freedoms.

Controlling the New Media: Hybrid Responses to New Forms of Power
In this article Lawrence Lessig's 'modalities of regulation' analysis is developed and enriched through elaborating on the essential elements of control systems (standard–setting, monitoring and behaviour modification) to demonstrate the importance and variety of hybrid forms that real–world control systems take in the new media domains.
