There are many common examples of algorithms, from sorting sets of numbers to finding routes through maps to displaying information on a screen.

For example, algorithms used in facial recognition technology have in the past shown higher identification rates for men than for women, and for individuals of non-white origin than for whites.

The algorithm will expand to all languages in which Google offers Search, but there is no set timeline, yet, said Google’s Danny Sullivan.

Sure, let's take a look at a couple. A binary search: This is one of the first examples of an algorithm that's taught because it's a basic design. An algorithm is instructed to take a set of ...

A study published Thursday in Science has found that a health care risk-prediction algorithm, a major example of tools used on more than 200 million people in the U.S., demonstrated racial bias ...

While we still see seeing examples of algorithms that discriminate against women and ethnic minorities, at the same time Bartoletti insists that subservient female virtual assistants are the ...

Algorithms are proprietary though, and monopolistic within their context (a customer can’t select the algorithm they want to use to assess their credit, for instance).
