To raise awareness about the increasing influence of algorithms on our decision-making processes, SMEX has translated to Arabic the new publication “Ethics of Algorithms at a glance,”
in collaboration with the Centre for Internet and Human Rights at European University Viadrina.

Algorithms are increasingly used to make decisions for us, about us, or with us. From areas of life that did not exist more than a decade ago, like online search or social media news areas, to fields where decisions used to be made exclusively via human judgement, such as health care or employment, algorithms are becoming important tools, or even sole decision-makers.
