About this listen

Vivimos en la edad del algoritmo. Cada vez más, las decisiones que afectan nuestras vidas no están hechas por humanos, sino por modelos matemáticos. En teoría, esto debería conducir a una mayor equidad: todos son juzgados de acuerdo con las mismas reglas y se elimina el sesgo. Pero como revela Cathy O'Neil en Armas de destrucción matemática, ocurre exactamente lo contrario. Los modelos que se utilizan en la actualidad son opacos, no regulados e incontestables, incluso cuando están equivocados. Los modelos están apuntalando a los afortunados y castigando a los oprimidos, creando un "cóctel tóxico para la democracia". Bienvenido al lado oscuro de Big Data.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

The book premise is interesting. The translation left me wanting. Billions and thousands of millions is confused several times during translation. Initials are read in English and not translated. English words are translated literally in several occasions rendering the sentences nonsensical, if I did not speak English I would not have understood them. Some words are outright invented Shakespeare style from the English word.

Poor translation
