Algorithms - The Computer Science of Human Decisions

from Raise Your Game Hosted by BFM Media

There are decisions that we must all make, especially when subject to the constraints of space and time. What to have for lunch? Which home should we buy? Who should we offer the job to? With no set formulas in place, how do we become more effective at making decisions to solve these common questions? Author Brian Christian and cognitive Scientist Tom Griffiths explores how modeling the algorithms in computer science can help us humans make better decisions.
