Data science and machine learning algorithms can help us form probabilistic forecasts of things like sporting events.
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 ...
Supervised learning algorithms learn from labeled data, where the desired output is known. These algorithms aim to build a model that can predict the output for new, unseen input data. Let’s take a ...
Every organism you have ever seen, every ecosystem you have ever walked through, is the ongoing output of an algorithm that ...
There is a man who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for building the brain of artificial intelligence. And that man will tell you, openly, that he has no idea how it actually thinks. Geoffrey Hinton, ...

People’s daily interactions with online algorithms affect how they learn from others, with negative consequences including social misperceptions, conflict, and the spread of misinformation, my ...
An algorithm commonly used by hospitals and other health systems to predict which patients are most likely to need follow-up care classified white patients overall as being more ill than black ...
