Option 1

 * Article title: Government by algorithm
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is well written and is balanced– It doesn't try to persuade the reader to take a particular side. However, the writing about the examples given are uneven. Some topics have more substantial writing than others, and some sections have one sentence about an example and then a paragraph about a different example underneath (i.e. AI Judges). There are lots of citations in the appropriate places, and it appears that most of the citations are reliable. I did spy a Wired magazine article, but Wired is known to have a generally positive and accurate reputation. This article does not tackle Wikipedia's equity gaps. The article mentions the COMPAS software, but does not include the information that this algorithm's accuracy was called into question because it appears that it marks Black prisoners with higher risk scores than white prisoners, even though their crimes are less severe. The article links to another page about COMPAS, but I think more should be said in the example given. The Talk page says that the citations need to be cleaned up for this article, and that the content covered in this article will be of the upmost importance in this century. It was last edited 10/31/2020. I would like to expand on the AI Judges section by adding in more information about the COMPAS algorithm.

Option 2

 * Article title: PhotoDNA
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is very short. It only covers updates about/made to the software by year. The article is neutral in that it doesn't try to persuade the reader to choose a side. I would like to add a section about PhotoDNA's uses to combat CSAM and the threat it makes to our privacy. I would rather choose this article to work on for my final assignment for this class because it's an area that I'm passionate about.
