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 shows how ...

There are algorithms all around us. They suggest which route to take, what song to listen to next, and what articles we might like. The algorithms that author and data scientist Cathy O’Neil is most ...

Life-changing decisions are happening in the dark. Machine-learning algorithms now determine decisions from loan applications to cancer diagnoses. In France, they place children in schools. In the US, ...

A panel including legal and artificial intelligence (AI) experts made the case today that algorithms used as evidence in court decisions and to influence other criminal justice decisions should be ...

Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

Algorithms are embedded into our technological lives, helping accomplish a variety of tasks like making sure that email makes it to your aunt or that you're matched to someone on a dating website who ...

Artificial intelligence algorithms are everywhere in healthcare. They sort through patients’ data to predict who will develop medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes, they help doctors ...

It has been hard not to hear conversations referring to algorithms at any ad-tech conference, but there seems to be persistent confusion around what an algorithm really is, how algorithms might help ...
