Talking AI and algorithms in Spain

(June 2023) “Most people are not aware that we are living in an empire of algorithms,” says Prof. Cecilia Danesi, Researcher in AI and Civil Law at the University of Buenos Aires and the University of Salamanca, and author of the book, The Empire of Algorithms: Ethics and Inclusive AI at the Service of Humanity.

Danesi was talking to another AI expert, Prof. Aleksandra Przegalinska of Kozminski University in Warsaw, Poland, who is also a Senior Research Associate at Harvard University while taking part in the fourth session of the Schools for Female Leadership in the Digital Age, a Huawei program for young female leaders.

 “All of the things that happen in social media or digital platforms are governed or decided by algorithms. Most of the time, most of the decisions that we make are manipulated, are influenced, by AI,” Danesi observed.
