Description:
Algorithms are inherently neither good nor bad for society. They are procedures that are intended to help perform or automate certain processes. We as a society can design and use them in various ways. Depending on how we perceive and make use of this design scope, the impacts can be positive or negative. The opportunities are closely linked with the challenges resulting from the use of algorithmic systems and, in turn, closely linked with their properties.
