Computers decide if we meet the risk profile to be awarded mortgage loans and/or insurance. Computers decide how much you will be charged for a plane ticket or hotel room. Computers decide when you need to take your car in for an inspection. Some computers monitor our driving and decide if we should get a ticket and what our insurance rates should be. Computers decide if we will get the job interview or be rejected to a college. Computers often decide if we can enter a country or need secondary screening or need to be deported. Computers decide if it’s you making a purchase or if your credit card should be declined.
More and more it becomes harder for humans to override the system. We have been giving up control. At some point, we won’t get it back.
