This chapter explores how algorithmic governance, also known as "algocracy," has become a key force in decision-making today. It examines how algorithms have evolved from simple tools of convenience to essential parts of how both public and private sectors operate. Tracing their historical roots, the chapter highlights algorithms' role in shaping regulatory frameworks and discusses their societal implications, particularly around transparency, accountability, and potential biases. By analyzing concepts such as "algorithmic governmentality" and "algorithmic regulation," the chapter unpacks both the benefits and ethical challenges these systems bring, highlighting their transformative impact on governance structures.
