Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Human beings are flawed, weak – they let their biases cloud their decision-making. Wouldn’t it be better if we could replace them with artificial intelligence or A.I.? Would it be better to get algorithms to do all our thinking for us? Meredith Broussard talks to Tim Harford about how this line of thinking may be a mistake. First broadcast on More or Less, 10 June 2018.
