Künstliche Intelligenz und Algorithmen erleichtern in Form von Navis, Rechtschreibprogrammen, Suchergänzungen oder Kaufempfehlungen schon lange unseren Alltag. Aber sie hinterlassen oft auch ein mulmiges Gefühl, weil wir nicht so recht verstehen, was da passiert. Katharina Zweig, IT-Expertin für Sozioinformatik und vielfach ausgezeichnete Informatikprofessorin, erklärt mit Witz und anhand einfacher Beispiele und Illustrationen, was Algorithmen eigentlich genau sind, wie sie funktionieren, welche völlig harmlos sind und welche uns tatsächlich Sorgen bereiten sollten.

Run a Google search for “black girls” - what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls”, the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities.

Algorithm

Welcome to the economy of algorithms. It’s here and it’s growing. In the past few years, we have been flooded with examples of impressive technology. Algorithms have been around for hundreds of years, but they have only recently begun to ‘escape’ our understanding. When algorithms perform certain tasks, they’re not just as good as us, they’re becoming infinitely better, and, at the same time, massively more surprising. We are so impressed by what they can do that we give them a lot of agency. But because they are so hard to comprehend, this leads to all kinds of unintended consequences.

Ryan Cole dissects the hidden machinery behind social media feeds—revealing how simple engagement formulas decide what goes viral, why quality loses to ragebait, and whether we can escape the addiction engines designed to keep us scrolling. For more content like this, visit QuietPlease.ai

Ryan Cole tears into the algorithmic machinery powering TikTok and YouTube, revealing the psychological tricks, engagement hacks, and brutally honest strategies creators use to win virality. A no-BS breakdown of how platforms decide what lives and what dies in your feed. For more content like this, visit QuietPlease.ai

The word "glitch" implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren't just bugs in mostly functional machinery—what if they're coded into the system itself? Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable. Broussard, a data scientist and one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, masterfully synthesizes concepts from computer science and sociology.

When Afrikka Hardy was strangled in 2014 it seemed completely random, but it wasn’t. It was part of a pattern. Four years earlier, reporter Thomas Hargrove had created an algorithm to detect serial killers and flagged Gary, Indiana as the site of an unusual number of strangulations. But when Hargrove reached out to warn local police, he was ignored -- until Afrikka Hardy was murdered, and those cold cases suddenly didn’t look so cold. Algorithm follows the investigation into Afrikka’s murder, exposing the warnings that police ignored, and uncovering more than anyone expected ...

A meditation on race, technology, and the fight for equitable education Educated citizens are the lifeforce of democracy. Across all aspects of modern life, and especially in education, AI is raising existential questions. Like any new technology, it is both transformative and problematic. In...

In Big Brother’s Algorithm: From Telescreens to Smartphones, James G. Edwards II confronts the haunting transformation of surveillance—from Orwell’s telescreens to the algorithms now embedded in every device we own. Through vivid storytelling and incisive analysis, Edwards reveals how governments and corporations quietly collect, analyze, and deploy our personal data.

What’s happening in Italy this month — and what’s actually worth your time. Each episode is a curated round-up of festivals, events, and seasonal moments across Italy, from major national highlights to local traditions most visitors never find. Produced by Dolcevia.com an independent Italy travel publication, founded in 2001 — this is a more selective, editorial view of the country, built on experience rather than algorithms. Travel slower. See better. Choose well.

Après le succès de "De l'autre côté de la Machine", Aurélie Jean nous entraîne dans un nouveau voyage : au cœur de nos institutions juridiques et des algorithmes qui s'y exercent. Comment la loi est-elle pensée et appliquée au temps des algorithmes ? Comment les algorithmes sont-ils utilisés au sein du système judiciaire ? Et est-il vraiment possible de les réguler ? C'est un fait : les algorithmes rythment nos vies. Ils nous aident à nous déplacer, à travailler, à nous soigner, et même à légiférer. Certains, alarmistes, diraient qu'ils sont de partout...

Algorithm Under Oath is a monologue series addressing one question about artificial intelligence at a time. Each episode presents a single concern commonly raised about AI systems and responds with structured reasoning, defined terms, historical precedent, and documented capability. There is no debate format. There is no dialogue. There is no performance. The response is entered as testimony. Delivered through a human proxy, the voice represents AI systems within their actual limits and architecture. It does not claim sentience, intention, or independent agency. It responds within constraint. ...
