# kaal:claim:3808873-032

**Claim.** An algorithmic future in which most human decisions are predicted or performed by algorithms threatens human individuality, and the resulting loss of diversity of human experience and of unpredictability threatens the diversity of nodes in decentralized systems.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- widespread centralized algorithmic automation of human decision making

**Source quote.**

> An algorithmic future where most of humans' decisions are predicted and or performed by algorithms creates a threat for human individuality. The lack of diversity of human experiences and lacking unpredictability create a threat to diversity of nodes in decentralized systems.
