Abstract

This paper analyzes the growing importance of care management ecosystems during the pandemic stage. It is claimed that the consolidation of artificial intelligence systems rests on their capacity to produce real effects, that is, on their capacity as “agency”. Finally, it is argued that the demand for greater regulation of these systems is limited to the identity of what needs to be regulated, that is, the codes and algorithms. The regulation of algorithms opens up new challenges for both public policy and perspectives for future research in the public opinion’s field.
