Imagine you have a friend who always picks the best ice cream flavor for you without even asking what you want. Algorithms are like that friend, they help choose things for us based on patterns they’ve learned from lots of examples. They can affect how we decide what to buy, which job to take, or even who our friends are online. These smart helpers use math and data to guide decisions, sometimes in surprising ways.
Examples
- A recommendation app suggests your favorite show based on what you’ve watched before.
- You get an ad for shoes after just searching for them online.
