Will algorithms designed for interconnected computers hold up if some of the machines are not here on Earth but flying about ...

These are both early examples of distributed systems ... Modern approaches, using complex mathematics such as the Paxos algorithm, overcome many of these significant hurdles.

An algorithm might conclude that people from a certain demographic are less likely to pay back a loan, for example, if it is trained on a data set in which loans were unfairly distributed in the ...

Machine vision is an important example, since it also demonstrates the way algorithms often learn how to do their jobs better by messing them up, sometimes very publicly. Those errors can be silly ...

A study published Thursday in Science has found that a health care risk-prediction algorithm, a major example of tools used on more than 200 million people in the U.S., demonstrated racial bias ...
