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.

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?

Algorithms, along with careless references to them, not only mystify the process by which computers run the world, they also depersonalize the all-too-real corporations exploiting the technology.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
