(upbeat music) - Again, for this solution, your answers might be completely different to what I came up with. I just tried to think of one service that I use pretty much every day that has an automatic decision layer to it. And the one that I could come up with was basically Twitter. So the Twitter news feed is ordered algorithmically which means that they don't just sort the content by date, but they also look at what I would be more likely to interact with. This is an automated decision that happens in the background and I don't really have any oversight or understanding how it's used. This changes a lot of the news that I get online. And I think it impacts quite a bit about how I understand the world.
