Machine Learning Algorithms - Where is the democratic accountability‪?‬ Nick Lansley's Innovation Lab

The new generation of machine-learning decision-making computer algorithms are proliferating - but where is public accountability? And what is 'machine-learning' anyway? Nick explores this brave new world starting with a fiasco in UK education when such an algorithm wrecked student chances of making it to University. Nick will also reveal how he is coding machine-learning algorithms himself.
