DDK Pod Episode 3 – Continuing the topic of algorithms and their use in the modern world from the previous episode, we discuss ‘Hello World: How to be Human in the Age of the Machine’ by Hannah Fry. She poses several thought-provoking questions in this book which we discuss: Should there be greater governance, legislation and transparency around the use of algorithms? Are ethical considerations always taken into account when developing new algorithms? How do we avoid passing or own biases on to the machines? Also covered is our pick of the IT industry news and a few recommendations for our listeners.
