Forlagets resumé af Outnumbered- From Facebook And Google To Fake News And Filter-Bubbles – The Algorithms That Control Our Lives
David Sumpter takes an algorithm-strewn journey to the dark side of mathematics. He investigates the equations that analyse us, influence us and will (maybe) become like us. The book answers questions such as: are Google algorithms racist and sexist?, why do election predictions fall so drastically?, what does the future hold as we relinquish our decision-making to machines? Featuring interviews with those working at the cutting edge of algorithm research, along with a healthy dose of mathematical self-experiment, Outnumbered explains how mathematics and statistics work in the real world, and what we should and shouldn’t worry about.
