What is an Algorithm: Framing the Issue
Algorithms work in ways that are often unknown, even to their own developers. #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #ethics Tweet Algorithms are diverse and have many different functions. In computer science terms, an algorithm is an abstract, formalized description of a computational procedure. Algorithms vary in their analytic characteristics, such as how their mean-time or best-time performance varies […]
Algorithms are Social Constructs
Algorithms are social constructs as much as mathematical calculations. As with any other technology, they capture and reproduce social dynamics, but these social dynamics often become entangled in obscure technical debates. #artificialintelligence #bigdata Tweet Our embrace of data-driven services such as artificial intelligence and machine learning will have an unprecedented impact on our present and future. […]

But what’s the right strategy? #leadership #csuite #CEO Tweet You’re in the C-suite and you’ve been approached by many AI vendors promising that their AI-based algorithm can streamline, optimize and revolutionize […]
The Misnomer of Learning: Algorithms and Black Lives Matter
Machine-powered #algorithms are not going through the painful, rigorous intellectual discomfort that real humans undergo when actual learning actually takes place. #BlackLivesMatter #privacy Tweet From apps to algorithms, emerging technologies can reinforce white supremacy and amplify social inequities. As of late, automated decision-making systems are marketed as revolutionary machine learning systems that improve and produce […]
