For example, if we have content generation algorithms that are in some way helping radicalize people as a byproduct of their function to maximize screen time / logged in time, is there a way that can be adjusted to a more acceptable outcome.
The algorithms aren’t designed to divide. People are just much life likely to remain engaged with stuff that they agree with, hence you continue to watch people you agree with in these platforms as opposed to people you disagree with.
Soon enough, all you are seeing is people that reconfirm your world view and opinion while people that disagree with you only see things that reconfirm their world view.
It’s not designed to happen that way, it’s just the unintended consequence of trying to keep you engaged for add revenue.

That is what I said, the function of the algorithm is to maximize screen time - we just get a lot of social pollution byproduct.
