Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a set of short articles analyzing China's social credit system from a variety of perspectives. The idea of the system is that it gives each citizen a 'score' based on behaviour and implements a connected system of incentives. The response in western countries is a mixture of fear and hypocrisy - fear that social credit entrenches the surveillance state, and hypocrisy in presuming that nothing like this exists outside China. These essays are great reading even if they take a slightly western perspetcive. And they point to some of the issues that will surround social recognition of learning achievement, something I've been projecting for a while now. Image: Wired.
