Algorithms: An Introduction to the Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Used to Solve Human Decisions [Audiobook]

Discover How Algorithms Shape & Impact Our World

Now you might look at this title and shy away, thinking that an audiobook with "Algorithms" in its title must be just for techies and computer scientists. However this audiobook is very accessible to those with no background in computer science.

Decisions Oftentimes Have Optimal Solutions

Today, many decisions that could be made by human beings from predicting earthquakes to interpreting languages can now be made by computer algorithms with advanced analytic capabilities.

Everyday we make millions of decisions from selecting a life partner, to organizing your closet, to scheduling your life, to having a conversation.

However, these decisions may be imperfect due to limited experience, implicit biases, or faulty probabilistic reasoning.

Algorithms can better predict human behavior than trained psychologists and with much simpler criteria. Studies continue to show that the algorithms can do a better job than experts in a range of fields.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, science, engineering and life. The results will make our lives more productive, better organized, and essentially, much happier.
