algopop-google-executive-eric-schimdt-discusses

algopop:

Google executive Eric Schimdt discusses Google concerns which include ongoing improvements to search algorithms to use artificial intelligence to deliver ‘truth’ rather than distorted results caused by ‘Google-Bombing’ and misleading marketing. In response other talkers suggest that perhaps the algorithms are worryingly given power to establish truths. That conversation happens around minute 30. 

I remember pitching this basic idea four years ago to Someone Prominent Who Decides What People Hear, and I remember him saying: the thing is, there is not really anyone besides you who will be interested in that.

Which is a reminder that when decisions were made entirely by humans, that wasn’t so great, either.
