Great read

My favorite book on the subject. Easy to read and informative.
Great book on algorithms and the harm they can cause
Published by Jan , 3 years ago
I really liked it. It's an in-depth look at some of the algorithms that influence our lives, the assumptions they're based on, and why those assumptions ultimately end up causing harm. We all ought to be a bit more critical of the machines running our lives and Cathy O'Neil does a good job explaining why.
