The idea of free will is being called into question, as algorithms predict and influence our choices from "summary" of Homo Deus by Yuval N. Harari
The belief in human agency and autonomy is deeply ingrained in our culture and consciousness. We like to think that we are the masters of our own fate, that we have the free will to make choices and decisions that shape our lives. However, with the rise of algorithms and data analytics, this cherished belief is being called into question. Algorithms are becoming increasingly adept at predicting human behavior and influencing our choices. They can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and trends, allowing them to anticipate what we will do before we even know it ourselves. This raises troubling questions about the extent of our autonomy and the true nature of our decision-making processes. In a world where algorithms can predict and influence our choices, do we really have free will, or are we simply responding to the nudges and prompts of these powerful tec...
