Here we briefly survey some known quantum algorithms, with an emphasis on a broad overview of their applications rather than their technical details.

As software and algorithms become an increasingly pervasive part of our lives, there’s growing interest and concern on how they are affecting society, the economy, and politics. Yet, most social ...

A few years ago I used an algorithm to help me write a science fiction story. Adam Hammond, an English professor, and Julian Brooke, a computer scientist, had created a program called SciFiQ, and ...

We picked an algorithm that flags patients in the early stages of sepsis — a life-threatening complication from an infection that results in widespread inflammation through the body.

What’s an example of how algorithms can create inequality in health care? I’ll give you an example we included in our article. There is an outstanding data analytics group at the University of Chicago ...

Algorithms are only human (well, designed by humans) but we need to trust they’ll do what they’re supposed to do. And that means we need a better way to test them.

Algorithms Are Great and All, But They Can Also Ruin Lives A single human showing explicit bias can only ever affect a finite number of people.

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 ...
