In Hello World she lifts the lid on their inner workings, demonstrates their power, exposes their limitations, and examines whether they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing. So how much should we rely on them? What kind of future do we want? Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us.
Welcome to the age of the algorithm, the story of a not-too-distant future where machines rule supreme, making important decisions – in healthcare, transport, finance, security, what we watch, where we go even who we send to prison. Yet a human can look you in the eye before passing sentence. Who would you rather determined your fate – a human or an algorithm? An algorithm is more consistent and less prone to error of judgement. They do this by filtering through possible routes, connections, and outcomes, and selecting the best one.Summary: _ 'One of the best books yet written on data and serves a place on the bestseller charts.' ( The Times ) You are accused of a crime. In Hello World she lifts the lid on their. Hannah Fry uncovers the hidden algorithms behind almost every aspect of our modern lives. Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us. #4 Algorithms are designed to remove some information to focus on what’s important. Hello World: How to be Human in the Age of the Machine. But in reality, algorithms are almost always mathematical objects that take a sequence of mathematical operations and turn them into computer code. It is typically used to describe a series of logical instructions that show, from start to finish, how to accomplish a task. #3 Algorithm is a term that is used frequently but fails to convey much actual information. Understanding our own flaws and weaknesses is the key to remaining in control. #2 The story of Deep Blue defeating the great grandmaster Garry Kasparov demonstrates that the power of an algorithm isn’t limited to what is contained within its lines of code. From Kasparov’s end of the table, the delays made it look as if the machine was struggling. During the six-game match, the machine would occasionally hold off from declaring its move for several minutes. What she is not mentioning are points like the formula used to compute a tangent or to enhance 2 matrices. Sample Book Insights: #1 The IBM team that designed Deep Blue made the brilliant decision to design the machine to appear more uncertain than it was.
