Figure 1 reveals the various symbols that flowcharts use to visualize algorithms. Figure 1. Flowcharts use symbols to represent statements, decisions, logic flow, and terminals Consider an ...

(For more background, check out our first flowchart on "What is AI?" here.) Machine-learning algorithms use statistics to find patterns in massive* amounts of data. And data, here, encompasses a ...

Could we really expect it to do any better? To try to find out, I began to dig into the ways governments use algorithms to automate decision-making. The stories are troubling, especially when it ...

One way of writing an algorithm is as a flowchart. Flowcharts use symbols to represent how the system works and help the programmer come up with the right set of instructions. And remember ...

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.

This step-by-step program will need planning, and to do this we use an algorithm. Computers are only as good as the algorithms they are given. If you give a computer a poor algorithm, you will get ...
