Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us? is a beginners guide to understanding Artificial Intelligence. Written in plain language and with gentle walk -throughs of the math with plenty of graphics, you do not have to be a professional to understand. With the benefits, biases, and potential dangers of Artificial Intelligence explained, Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us? strives to build knowledge and responsible practice around this amazing technology in our lives.
Beginning with early studies in understanding the human brain, the history and purpose of artificial intelligence unfolds, focusing on neural networks as a tool to help us solve problems, classify data and forecast problems. The math section is next, which I admittedly skimmed, but was also fairly easy to understand with many charts, graphics and broken down equations if this is not your strong suit. I found the section on training AI and bias in AI particularly interesting and will remember the point that models only learn patterns from the data that it is given and if we produce and input biased data, we will get biased results. Overall, a good overview covering the history, purpose, usefulness and potentials of Artificial Intelligence.
