Welcome to the economy of algorithms. It’s here and it’s growing. In the past few years, we have been flooded with examples of impressive technology. Algorithms have been around for hundreds of years, but they have only recently begun to ‘escape’ our understanding. When algorithms perform certain tasks, they’re not just as good as us, they’re becoming infinitely better, and, at the same time, massively more surprising. We are so impressed by what they can do that we give them a lot of agency. But because they are so hard to comprehend, this leads to all kinds of unintended consequences.

All’inizio della mia carriera, in azienda facevo tutto io. Non mi dimenticherò mai di quando registravo i freni a tamburo, o cambiavo le pastiglie del camion, di quando lavoravo venti ore al giorno, di quando sistemavo il magazzino e caricavo e scaricavo le merci dal camion. La mia vita era solo lavoro. Non dormivo, non mi prendevo cura di me, non mi divertivo, non mi fidavo delle persone. Ero cattivo con me stesso e con i miei collaboratori. Ogni cosa mi faceva saltare i nervi e questo per molto tempo ha rischiato di mettere a repentaglio anche il rapporto con la mia famiglia.
