The Supreme Court is hearing cases on dangerous algorithms
Resume
This is the Radio Boston rundown for Oct. 6. Tiziana Dearing is our host.
- Algorithms in social media push content based on what you've already seen. In this week's "Tech Talk," we discuss how two Supreme Court cases could change that. Family members are suing Google and Twitter for essentially encouraging terrorist attacks that killed their loved ones.
- In the latest installment of "Brilliant Boston," our series on the most popular classes in our brainy region, we talk about a Harvard Kennedy School class on the science of behavior change, and how governments and companies try to influence us to make certain choices.
- Joel Christian Gill, inaugural chair of the master of fine arts program in visual narrative at Boston University and our guide to the world of comics, introduces us to Robyn Smith, illustrator of the comic "Wash Day Diaries." We talk about the politics and the joys of Black hair, and what it's like to document them in a comic book.
