How much do algorithms change our decisions?

A talk on how algorithms shape our lives. This is based on a published academic paper which you can read / cite here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3597512.3599712 Abstract: Recommender systems form the backbone of modern e-commerce, suggesting items to users based on the collection of algorithmic data of a user's preferences. Companies that use recommender systems claim that they can give users what they want, or more precisely, what they desire. Netflix, for example, gives users recommended movies based on the user's behaviour on the platform, thereby listing new movies that the user may want to watch. This article explores whether there is a difference between what engages us, on the one hand, and what we truly want to want, on the other. #artificialintelligence #recommendersystems #recommendations #algorithms #algorithmic #harryfrankfurt 📚BUY MY BOOKS: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00LDRU2MU ✍🏻FOLLOW MY WRITING: www.newintrigue.com
