Below is an excerpt from an article featuring NULab faculty Alan Mislove and his recent research on how algorithms shape our everyday lives.
“Alan Mislove is a professor of computer science at Northeastern University in the U.S. who has spent years studying how the algorithms that shape our daily lives work: from flight prices and advertisements to credit scoring. His expertise led him to spend a year and a half working at the White House, where he helped craft new legislation on the topic.
During his time there, he observed that government departments were eager to understand how AI would impact their operations. Mislove, 44, also contributed to President Biden’s executive order on AI, which may be at risk when Donald Trump takes office. The New Orleans-born researcher recently visited Madrid to speak at the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC), one of the largest global gatherings on networks, traffic, and security, organized this year by IMDEA Networks and Carlos III University.”
