Rethinking our jobless future

Algorithms are shaping our society

 

AI is here today, it’s not just the future of technology. It’s embedded inside every product.

Algorithms controls every action we take.

Today, it can be difficult to understand the social impact that artificial intelligence (AI) has for humanity kind.

And it is still not clear what we should ultimately expect from this exponential technology.

 

What is clear: AI-powered products and services have made it into nearly every aspect of our personal and professional lives in just a few years.

And as AI solutions continue to emerge and converge, this state of art will only continue to accelerate.

It’s easy to find scenarios of a utopian future of abundance where machines do all the hard work—as well as blurred scenarios where workers are replaced by increasingly capable "smart" machines.

With such rapid progress, it’s difficult to make assumptions about the future of AI. But instead of focusing on the unknown, we can examine the potential future impact.

 

Why algorithmic awareness matters

Algorithmic transparency is an important safeguard for accountability and fairness in decision-making. From various AI applications to ranking results in search engines, algorithms govern the way we access information online. This has large implications for consumers and businesses in areas such as online platforms. Understanding algorithmic transparency in an in-depth manner is key for informed policy-making.

Raising awareness and gathering evidence about the challenges and opportunities of algorithmic decisions.

 

The hidden power of algorithms designers will be soon switched by AI improving their own algorithms in an endless epigenetic process.
