Description
Algorithms are shaping our lives in ways both subtle and profound. From the products we buy to the news we consume, artificial intelligence is making decisions that affect us every day. In "A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence", Kartik Hosanagar explores how these algorithms work, why they can sometimes go wrong, and what this means for our trust in them. Hosanagar draws on his experience designing algorithms professionally, as well as history, computer science, and psychology, to examine the phenomenon of algorithmic thinking. He looks at examples like Microsoft's chatbot Tay, which turned sexist and racist, and the fatal accidents of self-driving cars. By understanding how algorithms think and why they can fail us, we can take control of our relationship with these technologies. This book is a timely exploration of the impact of algorithms on our lives, and how we can use this knowledge to shape their influence in a positive way.
