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.

Researchers have devised a new framework for designing machine learning algorithms that helps prevent intelligent machines from being biased.

We call a list of instructions an algorithm. The list of instructions we give to a computer is called a computer program. It is a special type of algorithm that a computer can understand.

There are concerns about whether or not the programmers building the savvy algorithms that run our lives are still in control of their creations.

A teenage programmer tests a set of instructions she has written to get her computer to mop the floor. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

Little wonder that most large firms use a computer program, or algorithm, when it comes to screening candidates seeking junior jobs.
