Abstract
This article addresses a central challenge of contemporary data culture: the construction, interpretation and implementation of knowledge generated by algorithmic systems in the bio-tech-med sector. Moving beyond a technocentric view of artificial intelligence, the author adopts the perspective of the sociology of knowledge, Anselm Strauss’s theory of social worlds and concepts from embodied epistemology. This methodological framework demonstrates that algorithms are not passive or neutral tools but active cultural agents that participate in shaping medical decisions and diagnostic procedures. A distinctive feature of the analysis is the comparison between two seemingly unrelated professional contexts: bioinformaticians and physicians on the one hand, and pay-per-click specialists in digital marketing on the other. This juxtaposition reveals universal mechanisms for the management of algorithmic opacity (black boxing). Both groups are required to take operational decisions by interpreting opaque machine-generated recommendations, frequently under significant epistemic and ethical pressure. The article highlights the importance of tacit knowledge, epistemic uncertainty and communities of practitioners as key enablers of action under conditions of automated expertise.
