How are algorithms shaping your behavior Ft. Ian Macrae - Suchita Bhhatia
Ian Macrae joins host suchita as they discuss the significant impact of algorithms on human behavior in episode 84. Understanding the effects of algorithms is essential as they become more
and more integrated into our daily lives, from recommendation systems to social media feeds. Expert in both technology and human behavior, Ian Macrae offers insightful explanations on how
algorithms influence our choices and behaviors. Ian Macrae talks about how algorithms create individualized content feeds on social media and streaming services, adjusting online experiences to individual interests. Although personalization
increases user interaction, it also produces echo chambers and filter bubbles that reduce exposure
to different viewpoints. Through influencing the information people take in and the actions they take, algorithms have an impact on human behavior. Algorithms that prioritize user interaction numbers tend to favor information that evokes strong emotional reactions, which may exacerbate
polarization and reinforce preexisting biases. Ian emphasizes the use of predictive modeling in algorithmic decision-making processes like hiring and credit scoring. These algorithms are designed to make processes more efficient and less prejudiced, but if they are trained on biased information, they may unintentionally promote social injustices and discrimination. The topic of algorithmic decision-making ethics is discussed, with a focus on the importance of responsibility,
transparency, and algorithmic literacy. Ian supports algorithmic audits and regulatory frameworks as ways to lessen algorithmic systems' potential drawbacks. Ian emphasizes how crucial it is to adopt human-centered design concepts when creating algorithms that put the needs
of users and the wider community first. Developers may construct more responsible and equitable systems by making algorithmic design processes take user feedback and ethical considerations into account.
The ubiquitous impact of algorithms on human behavior and decision-making is discussed in Episode 84. It is crucial to assess algorithms' effects and make sure they are in line with moral standards and societal norms as they continue to influence our online experiences and social
dynamics. We may move more ethically and conscientiously across the digital realm by promoting algorithmic literacy and responsible algorithmic design.

With the advent of various technological advancements, law enforcement efforts in the investigation and prosecution of crime have been met with positive results. However, with every advantage comes a disadvantage. Criminals have also benefited from these technologies and use the same advancements that law enforcement employs during the commission of their crimes, or as a tool for their crimes (this is evidenced in computer-related offenses and the misuse of the internet). In a 3 – 4 page paper (excluding title and reference pages), address the following areas in full detail: summarize the advantages of computers/software and the use of computer technology in investigations, summarize the disadvantages to law enforcement with respect to the advancements of computers, research a case where the computer was used to aid in the commission of a crime, research a case where the use of the computer was beneficial to the prosecution in a criminal case, and provide a final…

Imagine you are an avid movie goer and you prepared a list of n movies you are considering watching. As a thorough researcher, you prepared a list of k friends, whose movie advice you trust. You have two ways to evaluate a movie: watch it or ask a friend if it is worth seeing. A movie typically lasts two hours. Usually when you speak with one of your friends, you also spend two hours talking. However, during these two hours, you can discuss multiple movies your friend has seen. Address the dilemma in each of the following two cases:
For each movie, you are debating to either see it or speak to all of your friends and hear their recommendations. You only have a total of t hours. You have two choices: a) Design a polynomial-time algorithm for choosing t/2 recommenders, or b) prove that the problem is NP-hard. Decide between the two choices and explain your decision with mathematical rigor.
A more efficient approach is to choose between watching the movie and speaking with at least one…

A luxury can be defined as something that is an
indulgence, rather than a necessity. Most people in
the world would view items such as food, shelter,

would likely add electricity and indoor plumbing to
that list. Today, many individuals are beginning to
view Internet access as a necessity. But is it really a
necessity-that is, essential for existence? If so, what

access or those who choose not to use it? How
might the perception of Internet access being or not
being a necessity affect the growth of e-commerce?
