Join us as the brilliant, insightful (and witty) Dr. Hannah Fry delves into the world of algorithms. From driverless cars, to justice, to health, algorithms are everywhere...improving efficiency, facilitating decisions and eradicating human bias. Or, is there more to the story and is something more sinister going on? For our first Technocurious event, we investigate the astonishing new tech-enabled world we're living in where data decides our individual and collective fates.
