From Intended Archivists to Intentional Algivists. Ethical codes for humans and machines in the archives

Information ethics is the central issue of the essay in which the ethics concerning digital archives from the perspective of data science are explored, and with an emphasis on the role of algorithms. Ethical principles, about access, have been formalised and communicated in the form of ethical codes, or: codes of conduct. This last topic brings us from the intended, human archivist in physical domains to the intentional, algorithmic archivist, of: algivist, in the digital domain. Which codes of conduct should be made for the latter, and how to implement them?
