Algorithms touch almost every part of our lives - but what are they? Do we really need to care what they are or how they work?
In this episode John Wyatt and I introduce provide some simple answers to these questions, and then explore by way of a case study, the Public Examination fiasco of 2020 in England. In doing this we raise a number of questions about the use of algorithms, and suggest some possible ways that we could protect people better from the unintended consequences of getting things wrong.
