S2E24 - Do you trust that algorithm?

This week we’re joined by Derek Bambauer, a professor of law at the University of Arizona, where he teaches Internet law and intellectual property. We’re discussing his latest paper with Michael Risch on the rise of algorithm-driven decision making enabled by Big Data. Derek explains what algorithms are, how they work, and we get into the depths of why people trust (or don’t trust) algorithms.Episode Notes:You can find their paper ‘Worse Than Human?’ here.
