Weapons of Math Destruction

This eye-opening book by a former Wall Street quant delves into the rise of mathematical modeling and the potential dangers it poses to society. With decision-making now in the hands of unregulated algorithms, bias and inequality are on the rise, with devastating consequences for those already marginalized. From evaluating workers to setting parole, these models reinforce discrimination, creating a "toxic cocktail for democracy." Cathy O'Neil urges modelers to take responsibility for their algorithms, but it's up to us to become more aware and demand change. This important read will empower you to ask the tough questions and uncover the truth.
