Algocracy: Opportunities and Risks (videocast with Adam Ford)

Myself and Adam Ford just had a long conversation about algocracy. The discussion centred around my paper 'The Threat of Algocracy' but we took many interesting diversions into topics relating to algorithmic governance, moral agency and moral patiency, sousveillance, the extended mind, the hackability of algocratic governance systems and more. Unfortunately, our skype connection cut out about half way through the conversation so this is divided into a part one and a part two.

Embedded videos are below, followed by some relevant links.
