DESCRIPTION:*A tour of the good\, the bad and the downright ugly of the al
 gorithms that surround us*\n\nWould you trust an algorithm to send someone
  to jail? Or to diagnose someone with cancer? How about an algorithm that 
 analysed your friendships to calculate if you were reliable enough to take
  out a loan? These aren’t hypothetical questions about our distant futur
 e. We’re already living in the age of the algorithm. A world where machi
 nes rule supreme – making the important decisions in healthcare\, transp
 ort\, finance and security. They’re telling us what to watch\, where to 
 go even who to send to prison. So how much should we rely on them to know 
 what’s best? And can we trust them over our own judgement? In this talk\
 , we’ll go on a tour of the good\, the bad and the downright ugly of the
  algorithms that surround us. We’ll lift the lid on their inner workings
 \, demonstrate their power\, expose their limitations\, and examine whethe
 r they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing
