What's the phrase to describe when an algorithm doesn't take into effect it's own influence on an outcome?
from replies:
- the ripple effect trap (in @selbst2019fairness [p. 62])
- unacknowledged reflexivity or reification; the ideas behind Goodhart's law & Campbell's law
- hidden feedback loop
- ""weak to Lucas" algorithm, for the Lucas critique in economics, which basicly states that a macroeconomic model that ignores the effects that policies have on individuals cannot be used to recommend which policies to implement" (Wikipedia: Lucas critique)
