Weapons of Math Destruction

Welcome to a world where algorithms rule our lives, shaping decisions that impact millions without us even realizing it. In "Weapons of Math Destruction," Cathy O'Neil exposes the dark side of big data and mathematical models. From college admissions to credit scores, these invisible algorithms are increasingly controlling our futures. But what happens when these models are biased, flawed, or just plain wrong? O'Neil, a data scientist herself, takes us on a journey through the hidden power of these mathematical models, revealing how they can reinforce inequality, undermine democracy, and create devastating consequences for individuals and society. Join us as we explore the urgent need for transparency and accountability in the age of algorithms.
