ALGORITHMS are everywhere. They play the stockmarket, decide whether you can have a mortgage and may one day drive your car for you. They search the internet when commanded, stick carefully chosen ...

Even as powerful as today's algorithms are, we're further from autonomous general intelligence than you'd imagine.

Algorithms power the modern world, but many people don't understand them. Here's the definition of an algorithm and how they're affecting our world.

Grasping algorithms just enough, thinking they're within our puny reach, only makes them more powerful.

While the algorithms are good at guaranteeing efficiency, they’re not great at simulating compassion and other human characteristics. So are humans and algorithms mutually exclusive then?

Facebook, Google, Amazon. Their algorithms are everywhere. But do they really control our lives?

The Internet is devolving from a free forum of ideas to a series of walled gardens where algorithms and a small cadre of elites decide what is acceptable speech online ...

Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study ...

What Are Algorithms and Flowcharts?. Algorithms and flowcharts are two tools a software developer uses when creating new programs. An algorithm is a step-by-step recipe for processing data; it ...

I outsourced several of my daily decisions to algorithms for a week, to better understand the lines of code playing a greater and greater role in guiding our lives.
