Algorithms are not to be regarded as a technical structure but as a social phenomenon - they embed themselves, currently still very subtle, into our political and social system. Algorithms shape human behavior on various levels: they influence not only the aesthetic reception of…
We commonly think of society as made of and by humans, but with the proliferation of machine learning and AI technologies, this is clearly no longer the case. Billions of automated systems tacitly contribute to the social construction of reality by drawing algorithmic distinctio…
"The book deflates the hype about AI, offering instead a balanced view of what it can and cannot do, and shows how humans can more wisely use digital technology"

La 4e de couverture porte en plus : "Ils transforment les sciences, l'industrie, la société ... Ils bouleversent les notions de travail, de propriété, de gouvernement, de vie privée ... et d'humanité. Qui, aujourd'hui, n'a pas entendu parler des algorithmes? Avec eux, nous passo…
Algorithms - often associated with the terms big data, machine learning, or artificial intelligence - underlie the technologies we use every day, and disputes over the consequences, actual or potential, of new algorithms arise regularly. In this book, Florian Jaton offers a new …
