Geysirhead The only WP:RS I can find on "regulation of algorithms" as an umbrella term, are the [1] link already in the document and "An FDA for algorithms" 'Tutt, Andrew. "An FDA for algorithms." Admin. L. Rev. 69 (2017): 83.'. IMHO recommend deletion unless and until the term "regulation of algorithms" gains greater usage. It would be better to focus effort on improving the existing pages on related topics (again IMHO). Rolf H Nelson (talk) 18:04, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for feedback! This is indeed an umbrella term, which is mentioned in two separate contexts on Wikipedia: "right for explanation" and "existential risk of AI". It should not be confused with "algorithmic regulation" or "regulation by algorithms", which is quite the opposite. I suppose that the creation of laws and rules about algorithms do not only appear under this term. If I delete this article, I will need to interconnect "right for explanation" with "existential risk of AI" and distinguish it from "algorithmic regulation" — this is also a suboptimal solution. Concrete suggestions are welcome! Geysirhead (talk) 18:22, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- OK, I didn't get the disambiguation. I've changed my mind, a page about the "regulation of algorithms" (whatever it's titled) has enough sources to pass WP:NOTABILITY (based on searching instead for "algorithmic regulation") for a small or mid-sized umbrella or parent article.

- I have undone the merge of Regulation of AI and Regulation of algorithms; no consensus was established. Geysirhead, you're going to have to justify it here. One obvious problem is that 'Regulation of artificial intelligence" is the more common term according to Google. It's also common in the literature, for example see this: https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/AF1AD1940B70DB88D2B24202EE933F1B/S1867299X19000084a.pdf/towards_intelligent_regulation_of_artificial_intelligence.pdf. Compare "regulation of artificial intelligence" and "regulation of algorithms" on Google Scholar. I am not saying the pages could not be merged, only that we need consensus.
