Voices in the Code

In Voices in the Code, scholar David G. Robinson explores how a diverse community collaboratively developed a kidney transplant matching algorithm from 2004 to 2014, emphasizing the moral and technical complexities involved. Through interviews and archival research, he illustrates the inclusive processes that shaped the new Kidney Allocation System, highlighting both the challenges and successes of creating fair and accountable technology. The book ultimately sheds light on the broader implications for ethical algorithm development in a democratic society.
