The AI behind things like music recommendations has us in a feedback loop that may be dulling our critical thinking, author says.

An algorithm that identifies abusive users may be useful to community moderators, but the study concluded that it could not be solely relied upon to troll-proof communities.

Neural networks are demonstrating profound leaps in their abilities when they're tasked with open exploration instead of a narrowly focused goal.

Machines don’t necessarily fix our biases — they mirror them. If we’re not careful, they can further entrench existing disparities.

Almost certainly. So, what do these algorithms do? A quick tech lesson will make everything clear. Here's what algorithms do behind the scenes and why they're important. Okay, what's an algorithm?

The Swedish artist Jonas Lund let an algorithm dictate what he should make in the 2013 work The Fear of Missing Out, but his algorithm analyzed successful contemporary artworks and gave him a ...

Equity is an elusive goal for algorithms for reasons that have more to do with mathematical impossibilities than backward ideologies.

Most people don't use the word algorithm every day. Many think it refers to lines of code or the latest Diplo beat. Yet, algorithms are ubiquitous and there is an increasing urgency of action ...
