Algorithms, a revolution in progress
No. 72 SEPTEMBER 2023
Do you know how many algorithms you have interacted with in the last 24 hours? This discreet technology, still unclear and little disclosed, is the clearest sign of the huge computational revolution we are experiencing, almost without realising it, and too quickly.
This book gives a voice to some of the most prominent Portuguese researchers in this area, helping to understand the positive and negative impacts of the growing recourse to algorithms. We need to understand them in order to be able to shape them according to the world we want to build, not least because an alert must be sounded: this transformative technology can lead humanity to a future as extraordinary as it is catastrophic.
