We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules.

Few Real Gems in an Ideological Junkyard
Revisado: 10-12-20
As an experienced practitioner of advanced analytics in science and business, I looked forward to reading this. I hoped to gain perspective on potential biases, pitfalls, and unintended consequences. Gems include the ideas about pernicious feedback loops in the modeling lifecycle. And I was fascinated to learn how USA Today's ranking algorithm has impacted education. on the downside, the author's ideological crusade against 'inequality' too often paves over throwaway conjectures, and shallow or incomplete research on the topics. The book seems more likely to breed rabid ideologues than to provide a pathway for solving a problem.

Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Timely and broadly relevant

Laid out so anyone can understand, the economic view of AI will prove to be one of the most general and future-proof perspectives on its effects on our society.
