Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Professional

Abstract

Interest in the possibilities afforded by algorithms and big data continues to blossom as early adopters gain benefits from AI systems that automate decisions as varied as making customer recommendations, screening job applicants, detecting fraud, and optimizing logistical routes. But when AI applications fail, they can do so quite spectacularly.
