Abstract

Algorithmic decision-making systems have the potential to amplify existing discriminatory patterns and negatively afect
perceptions of justice in society. There is a need for a revision of mechanisms to address discrimination in light of the unique
challenges presented by these systems, which are not easily auditable or explainable. Research eforts to bring fairness to
ADM solutions should be viewed as a matter of justice and trust among actors should be ensured through technology design.
Ideas that move us to explore the notions of justice within the feld of political thinking, aiming to identify the elements that
frame the social context of the discriminatory decisions produced by algorithmic decision-making solutions. Our explorations
suggest that the eforts to bring fairness to ADMs should be seen as a matter of justice and that trust in these systems can be
ensured through careful technology design.
