---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jarno Mikael Koponen <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Apr 19, 2015 at 11:34 PM Subject: My article "We Need Algorithmic Angels" on Techcrunch To: Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> My story about the future of algorithms "We Need Algorithmic Angels" just out on Techcrunch http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/18/we-need- algorithmic-angels/ "Today our algorithmic selves are beyond our control. Our agency in digital environments is diminishing. That leaves us very vulnerable. Could this be changed?" "Is it really helpful to know exactly how personalization algorithms work... Maybe it would be more practical to have algorithms that would be on our side and in our control — personal algorithms, or algorithmic angels if you will (for a lack of a better word). They’d be a combination of an aid, guardian and assistant, helping us out in various digital and physical environments." All feedback appreciated.
