From viral conspiracies to exam fiascos, algorithms come with serious side effects
After all, in the past decade, machine learning has enabled self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, more powerful web search, even an improved understanding of the human genome.
Global population is declining… and that’s OKAY!
This has enormous economic and societal implications: fewer people overall means fewer workers, and older people will make up a greater percentage of the population.
