Anand_n:
yes its a book about how algorithms are affecting the world... but in the wake of AI, it may become redundant. here is the concern of that book.....till 2013/14 on whose data the book is based on....the algorithms don't take into account socio-economic parameters... for example during subprime...teachers laid off based on an algorithm ...but the teachers who are strict in correcting paper are ones that effected... those teachers who deliberately inflated marks got high scores... so what are the ethics here?? when complained about the result to senators they shrugged their shoulders...conveying their inability to do anything... likewise soo many examples given. Capacity vundi, laziness, and uninspired life is a waste of time. YOLO kada.... But experiences is how you bring meaning to life. Worthiness should be earned with adequate efforts. |
