Opinion article: Luís Caires explores trust in algorithms

Could algorithms be built to replace call centre operators, car drivers, judges, doctors or even teachers? Are the new artificial intelligence algorithms reliable? Which algorithms can we trust, if any?

Luís Caires, the ERA Chair Holder for the BIG Project, wrote a new dissemination article in Gerador explaining to a broader audience the differences and similarities of various types of algorithms and their impact on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation Technologies
