Algorithm and
perception
Do algorithms shape individuals' perception of information and the world around them, or
do they merely reflect pre-existing preferences and behaviours?
Algorithms play a significant role in shaping individuals' perception. With search engines, social media platforms, and recommendation systems relying on algorithms, personalized content is delivered based on users' past behaviors and preferences.
This creates filter bubbles and echo chambers, where individuals are exposed primarily to information that aligns with their existing beliefs and interests.
Algorithms reinforce biases, limit exposure to diverse perspectives, and contribute to the polarization of society. Algorithmic transparency and accountability are crucial to mitigate the potential negative effects on perception.
Algorithms use past behaviours and preferences to curate content, leading to filter bubbles and echo chambers.
