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 ...

Under the right circumstances, algorithms can be more transparent than human decision-making, and even can be used to develop a more equitable society.

Though meant to make decisions around criminal justice, policing and public service easier, some are concerned algorithms designed by humans come with inherent bias and a need for oversight.

Often, when there’s talk about algorithms and journalism, the focus is on how to use algorithms to help publishers share content better and make more money. There’s the unending debate, for example, ...

How, then, can a single algorithm guide different robotic systems to make the best decisions to move through their surroundings?

For example, an algorithm called CB (color blind) imposes the restriction that any discriminating variables, such as race or gender, should not be used in predicting the outcomes.

For example, the A-level algorithm adjusted results to try to replicate the previous overall achievements of different ethnic groups, which are likely to reflect racial inequality.

Most people expect algorithms to make recommendations on the basis of maximizing some specific outcome, and many people are fine with that in amoral domains, according to the researchers. For example, ...

Social media continues to be a powerful marketing tool for companies in the mortgage industry. Whether you are large or small, it’s incredibly important to have an established presence across all ...

One notable example is the $34 million secured by British quantum algorithms specialist Phasecraft from a group of investors, including an entity linked to Danish pharmaceutical ...
