Hannah Fry is an associate professor in the mathematics of cities at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London. A regular presenter for the BBC, she lives in London and tweets @FryRsquared.
A look inside the algorithms that are shaping our lives and the dilemmas they bring with them.
If you were accused of a crime, who would you rather decide your sentence—a mathematically consistent algorithm incapable of empathy or a compassionate human judge prone to bias and error? What if you want to buy a driverless car and must choose between one programmed to save as many lives as possible and another that prioritizes the lives of its own passengers? And would you agree to share your family’s full medical history if you were told that it would help researchers find a cure for cancer?
These are just some of the dilemmas that we are beginning to face as we approach the age of the algorithm, when it feels as if the machines reign supreme. Already, these lines of code are telling us what to watch, where to go, whom to date, and even whom to send to jail. But as we rely on algorithms to automate big, important decisions—in crime, justice, healthcare, transportation, and money—they raise questions about what we want our world to look like. What matters most: Helping doctors with diagnosis or preserving privacy? Protecting victims of crime or preventing innocent people being falsely accused?
Hello World takes us on a tour through the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us on a daily basis. Mathematician Hannah Fry reveals their inner workings, showing us how algorithms are written and implemented, and demonstrates the ways in which human bias can literally be written into the code. By weaving in relatable, real world stories with accessible explanations of the underlying mathematics that power algorithms, Hello World helps us to determine their power, expose their limitations, and examine whether they really are improvement on the human systems they replace.

本來隻是想寫個短評,但是可能不夠寫那麼多,於是寫這篇書評和閱讀tips。 不打算寫的過於冗長,也不考慮spolier。 這本書不算很長,200多頁,是hannah fry的第二本書,也是她第一次涉獵算法世界。藍色封麵是英國版,後來的這個乳白色底的是美國版。該書也齣瞭中文版。 主要涉及...

有意思的地方在於,這本書所涉及到的“著名事件”,我在中文媒體上幾乎不曾聽聞。

評分講瞭AI算法在生活中的方方麵麵。包括預測犯罪、醫療、無人車等等。作為從業人員,確實沒啥新鮮的。看瞭一半多。下次來圖書館順帶看完好啦。anyway,已經煩瞭所有講AI的書都要從deep blue講起。
