A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence - Paperback Book - by Kartik Hosanagar - 9780525560906 - Penguin Putnam Inc

Dimensions: 21.3cm x 13.9cm x 1.6cm - Kartik Hosanagar surveys the brave new world of algorithmic decision-making and reveals the potentially dangerous biases they can give rise to as they increasingly run our lives. He makes the compelling case that we need to arm ourselves with a better, deeper, more nuanced understanding of the phenomenon of algorithmic thinking. Hosanagar draws on his experiences designing algorithms professionally - as well as on history, computer science, and psychology - to explore how algorithms work and why they occasionally go rogue, what drives our trust in them, and the many ramifications of algorithmic decision-making.
