Ubiystvennye bolshie dannye. How mathematics turned into a weapon of mass destruction
Mathematical algorithms are subjugating our lives more and more every day. Moreover, according to the author of the book, a professor of mathematics and a financial analyst, these algorithms have already turned into a dangerous weapon in the hands of the state and corporations – and these weapons are aimed primarily at the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population. At the same time, the hidden principles of mathematical models are protected as the greatest trade secret, and their verdicts, sometimes obviously erroneous and obviously harmful, are considered final and are not subject to appeal. Welcome to a wonderful new world – the world of killer Big Data!
