Abstract
This perspective article discusses the ethical implications of quantification across various disciplines. The authors argue for a comprehensive ethics of quantification, highlighting the shared problems arising from the widespread use of numbers, models, algorithms, and rankings. They examine the challenges in regulating quantification, identify obstacles and lock-ins, and suggest policy recommendations for different actors.
