Can we trust algorithms? | All Hail The Algorithm

‘Trust Me’ – I’m an Algorithm

Trust is fundamental to all our relationships – not just with our family and friends. We trust banks with our money, we trust doctors with our really personal information.
But what happens to trust in a world driven by algorithms? As more and more decisions are made for us by these complex pieces of code, the question that comes up is inevitable: can we trust algorithms?

Join Ali Rae in this first episode of ‘All Hail The Algorithm’ – a 5 part series exploring the impact of these invisible codes on our everyday lives.

In this episode, Ali speaks with Asher Wolf about Australia’s robo-debt scandal, Virginia Eubanks about how inequality is being automated and Sharad Goel about COMPAS – an algorithm being used in courts across the US to assist with sentencing.
