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 ...

As life grows increasingly digital, Americans rely on algorithms in their daily decision-making—to pick their music on Pandora, guide their program choices on Netflix, and even suggest people to date ...

(CN) — Can algorithms improve human decision-making by taking out bias-prone factors like age, race and gender? It’s not a particularly new debate, but it’s one that’s gained renewed attention lately ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making systems — algorithms that analyze massive amounts of data and make predictions about the future — are increasingly affecting Americans’ ...

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 ...

A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

I was halfway through a master’s in Computer Science when my vision changed. I was working as a data scientist during my summer off from school, and I had friends who said things like “I’m at a local ...

The algorithms that underlie modern artificial-intelligence (AI) systems need lots of data on which to train. Much of that data comes from the open web which, unfortunately, makes the AIs susceptible ...
