Inside AI: an algorithmic adventure (UNESCO)
Introduction
Introduction exert from source: Though difficult to perceive, a hidden world lies behind the many screens which fill our lives. Surprisingly perhaps, we interact with this world every day: each time we open an app on our computers and smartphones, or access a web page, we open a door to it. Each time we ask a voice assistant a question, or use our faces for identification, we teach it to recognize us. And each time we like a post, watch a video, or buy something online, we let it learn something about us. In many ways, this world exists both everywhere and nowhere, and is governed by both everyone and no one. Many of us have heard of it, some of us fear it, but few of us understand exactly how it works.
