Government algorithms threaten our right to hold politicians to account.
Over the past decade, news media companies have been at the mercy of big tech platforms’ algorithms in delivering them readers. But with no guarantee of sustained revenue, media firms are looking elsewhere.
Problems in the underlying data mean we can’t leave algorithms to decide things on their own.
Small groups of fringe activists pushing online disinformation are a growing threat to Australian democracy.
Facial recognition algorithms will always make mistakes. But how can we make them less discriminatory?
Just because YouTube recommends a video doesn’t mean it has medically valid information.
A tale of two leaders on Twitter in the age of COVID-19.
A social media researcher explains how bots and sock puppet accounts manipulate and polarize public debate.
Algorithms can now work out the best ways to lay out rooms, construct buildings and even change them over time to meet user needs.
Algorithms can take much of the hard work out of tough decisions. But to avoid problems like the Robodebt debacle or unfair parole rulings, we need to ensure machines operate with human-like ethics.
Researchers have been able to track how radical communities on the fringes of the web essentially manufacture conspiracy theories.
Facebook’s algorithms are designed to encourage reminiscence and reconnection. But in the wake of a breakup, we don’t always want those things.
Remember when websites didn’t rely on user data for profit margins, when values like anonymity and transparency were celebrated?
The use of online health platforms is on the rise, allowing us to track and share our personal data. While such platforms have promise, significant scientific, ethical and privacy questions remains.
States are increasingly turning to machine learning and algorithms to detect fraud in food stamps, Medicaid and other welfare programs – despite little evidence of actual fraud.
No one knows exactly how AI-based DNA analysis software works, so it can’t be scrutinised in court.
Algorithmic forces fuel cancel culture. Paradoxically, they’re also used to rehabilitate those who have been canceled.
Scientists are arguing over how YouTube might help turn people into extremists.
A paper published by researchers at Google claimed that they had achieved computing quantum supremacy, but leaks and counter-claims have created a stir.
