Adaptive systems were supposed to simplify decision-making. Instead of hard-coded rules, engineers built models that could learn from data, respond to change, and improve over time. That promise still ...

We’re entering an era in which the way software interacts with the world is so hidden and complex that researchers need to start studying algorithms the way we study animals. That’s according to MIT ...

If you're seeing the same types of stories repeatedly on your social media feeds, you're not alone, and it's due to something called an "algorithm.""It's a series of steps that a computer follows in ...

Perhaps the greatest challenge of the algorithm revolution is that as machines and the algorithms that drive them have become ever-more complex, we are rapidly losing our ability to understand how ...

Algorithms have taken a lot of heat recently for producing biased decisions. For example, people were outraged over an Amazon.com recruiting algorithm that overlooked female applicants. Should we be ...
