Shrouded in secrecy and complexity, decisions at major Silicon Valley and Wall Street firms were long assumed to be neutral and technical. But leaks, whistleblowers, and legal disputes have shed new light on automated judgment. Self-serving and reckless behaviour is surprisingly common, and easy to hide in code protected by legal and real secrecy. Even after billions of dollars of fines have been levied, underfunded regulators may have only scratched the surface of this troubling behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Pasquale exposes how powerful interests abuse secrecy for profit and explains ways to rein them in.
