Waarom voorspellingen vooral gaan over macht

Oxford philosopher Carissa Véliz examines the history and practice of forecasting, arguing that predictions are fundamentally about power rather than accuracy. Her survey critiques the modern obsession with predictive algorithms, suggesting that those who control forecasting tools wield significant influence over society. Véliz's analysis reveals how predictions shape decision-making across finance, politics, and other sectors, often benefiting those in power while affecting broader populations.
