★ 前華爾街量化分析師揭露：演算法如何操控你的未來★ 大數據黑暗面全面曝光：看不見的歧視與不公平我們以為世界正變得更公平——由機器取代人類做決策，似乎能消除偏見。但真相，可能正好相反。在這個「演算法主宰」的時代，你能否錄取學校、拿到工作、申請貸款，甚至保險費率高低，都悄悄被一套看不見的數學模型決定。這些系統看似客觀，卻無法被檢驗，也無從質疑，一旦出錯，影響卻會層層放大。數學家暨資料科學家凱西．歐尼爾，以親身經驗揭開大數據的陰暗面：這些模型不只沒有消除不平等，反而強化既有的階級與歧視，讓弱勢更難翻身。本書如同一場警醒之旅，帶你看見科技背後不為人知的權力運作。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword“A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial TimesNATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On PointWe live in the age of the algorithm.
