          such models to rank the skill level of players in online
          games; banks assess the validity of potential borrowers
          when they submit applications for loans; and a number
          of businesses have attempted to automate the process
          of reviewing resumes for open positions in their
          organization.
          Two of the most pressing unanswered questions are
          what the system would look like if fully implemented and
          how it would operate technologically. There are several
          possible explanations for this uncertainty.

          To begin with, the system’s designers are aware that the
          more information they share about it, the more holes
          others can poke in its security.

          of the system do not themselves have a complete

          The description that follows are what I image might
          happen in practice. Every aspect of a person’s life,
          from their eligibility to ride public transportation to the
          types of jobs they might be offered in the future, could
          be determined by a single score under the premise of a
          nationwide social score system. When this is done, the
          score ends up being the main factor that determines
          a person’s place in society. If this occurs, the most
