Recent advances in photonic technology are redefining decision-making processes by integrating quantum dots with bandit problem algorithms. Quantum dots – nanoscale semiconductor particles – ...

Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study shows how ...

Deciding what to do in situations when there is no right answer is an unenviable challenge for any leader. Doing it in a matter of seconds under the pressure of a rapidly changing scenario — like a ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making systems — algorithms that analyze massive amounts of data and make predictions about the future — are increasingly affecting Americans’ ...

Studies show that AI systems used to make important decisions such as approval of loan and mortgage applications can perpetuate historical bias and discrimination if not carefully constructed and ...

Determining the least expensive path for a new subway line underneath a metropolis like New York City is a colossal planning challenge—involving thousands of potential routes through hundreds of city ...
