Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Same with machine learning. For the non-computer-scientists among us, what is the Master Algorithm? The Master Algorithm is an algorithm that is capable of learning anything from data.

An algorithm used to inform healthcare decisions for millions of people shows significant racial bias in its predictions of the health risks of black patients.

We decided to put this algorithm to the test, pitting it against TIME’s photo editors. To do that, we took the 20 most liked images on TIME’s Instagram feed and had our photo editors rate each ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.

Quantum computer succeeds where a classical algorithm fails Quantum computers coupled with traditional machine learning show clear benefits.

Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption. Celeste ...

Last year, a group of German computer scientists made waves by demonstrating a new computer algorithm that could transform any digital still image into artwork mimicking the painterly styles of ...

Yes, “algorithms” can be biased. Here’s why Op-ed: a computer scientist weighs in on the downsides of AI.
