Dear math and literature lovers,
Join MoMath at Volumes, the MoMath book club, at 6:30 pm on Thursday, October 18, to discuss HELLO WORLD: Being Human in the Age of Algorithms by Hannah Fry.
In HELLO WORLD, Hannah explores the role of algorithms in automating important decisions in crime, healthcare, relationships, and money. Should we entrust ourselves to driverless cars? Are machines capable of producing great works of art? How do we balance the importance of making better medical diagnoses with the value of preserving privacy? Our increasing reliance on pre-defined, quantitative decision-making rules, some of which are invisible to us, raises some interesting questions. If you enjoyed Hannah’s Math Encounters presentation in September and want the opportunity to delve more deeply into some of the issues she exposed, or if you just want to join a provocative discussion of an increasingly serious issues facing society today, you won’t want to miss this event.
