Abstract

Organizations are a highly relevant contexts for understanding the interactions of algorithmic assemblages and the unfolding of algorithmic regimes. We argue that organizations must be understood as social systems that enable and restrict how algorithmic regimes unfold. We make this conceptual argument by analysing the algorithmic assemblage in the case of predictive policing in Germany and subsequently compare our insights with the case of hospitals which serve as our secondary case. Our analysis focuses on three crucial organizational dimensions: goals, differentiation, and goal conflicts. We argue that taking these dimensions into account sensitizes researchers not only to how organizations empower algorithmic regimes, but also to the frictions and breaks they cause.
