Publisher: Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2018Description: pages cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781108745420Subject(s): AlgorithmsAdditional physical formats: Online version:: The age of algorithmsDDC classification: Grad. 577.7 LOC classification: QA9.58 | .A245 2018Summary: "Algorithms are probably the most sophisticated tools that men have had at their disposal since the beginnings of human history. They have transformed science, industry, society. They upset the concepts of work, property, government, private life, even humanity. Going easily from one extreme to the other, we rejoice that they make life easier for us, but fear that they will enslave us. To get beyond this vision of good vs evil, this book takes a new look at our time, the Age of Algorithms. Creations of the human spirit, algorithms are what we made them. And they will be what we want them to be: it's up to us to choose the world we want to live in"-- Provided by publisher.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Vol info | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
