Every time you "Like" a Facebook post, among other things, you help provide data to an algorithm. But algorithms, like the humans who design them, aren't foolproof — and can reflect bias.

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

I decide that algorithms haven’t done enough heavy lifting for me yet. I didn’t realise when I started out how difficult it would be to isolate decision points where an algorithm could help me ...

--MicroAlgo Inc., today announced the successful development of a groundbreaking quantum algorithm technology, specifically a FULL adder operation based on CPU registers in quantum gate computers ...

A few years ago I used an algorithm to help me write a science fiction story. Adam Hammond, an English professor, and Julian Brooke, a computer scientist, had created a program called SciFiQ, and ...

How can we know the biases of a piece of software? By reverse engineering it, of course.

At issue was an algorithm called Q* (pronounced “Q-star”), which has allegedly been shown to solve certain grade-school-level math problems that it hasn’t seen before.
