Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study ...

How, then, can a single algorithm guide different robotic systems to make the best decisions to move through their surroundings?

An innovative algorithm called Spectral Expansion Tree Search helps autonomous robotic systems make optimal choices on the move.

The new algorithm could help robots make safer, smarter decisions around humans, even amidst the greatest uncertainties.

For example, the kidney allocation system is an algorithm-based protocol used to prioritize patients for kidney transplants on the basis of the amount of time they have been on the national ...

Designing AI to be more efficient has both upsides and downsides for consumers – here’s how to get the balance.

When algorithms make the choices for us (rerun) “Technology is stepping in for our critical faculties,” says Jacob Ward, author of the “The Loop.” ...

The Justice in Forensic Algorithms Act aims to ensure that when algorithmic analyses are used as evidence in court, defendants get to know how the tools reached their conclusions and allow them to ...

Most people expect algorithms to make recommendations on the basis of maximizing some specific outcome, and many people are fine with that in amoral domains, according to the researchers. For example, ...

Filterworld author Kyle Chayka examines the algorithms that dictate what we watch, read and listen to. He argues that machine-guided curation makes us docile consumers.
