Algorithms, data and democracy (ADD-project): Digital solutions to crises of public trust The ever-increasing use of digital algorithms for the collection and interpretaion of big data fundamentally changes the way in which we form opinions and make decisions – as individuals and in society. Previously, this transformation happened outside of the attention of the public, but it has now become a pressing issue of concern. Data and algorithms are not only the pervasive technological infrastructure of public debate, but also a frequent topic of such debate. Digitalization has, in other words, become controversial and now contributes to society’s crises of trust, as technological developments accelerate tendencies like populism, polarization, conspiracy theories and conflicts. Thus, environmental, social, political and economic crises are interwoven with technological concerns, increasing general mistrust in the traditional institutions of democratic societies.The ADD-project explores the
