From Gmail and Google Documents to Google’s Cloud, our reliance on Google services has extended to more and more realms of our lives. And academia is not immune from this growing dependency. Our guest this week is Jake Goldenfein, a Postdoctoral fellow at the Digital Life Initiative. His most recent piece of research looks at Google Scholar, a free web search engine that indexes scholarly work. And it asks: should we feel that comfortable using yet another Google service as if it was a disinterested actor?

Good Code is a weekly podcast about ethics in our digital world. 
We look at ways in which our increasingly digital societies could go terribly wrong. And we speak with those trying to prevent that.
If you like TV shows, think of it as Black Mirror meets The Good Place: Dystopian scenarios, with a way out. 

Good Code is a collaboration of Cornell Tech's Digital Life Initiative and French Journalist Chine Labbe.
