Algorithms dictate everything we see. Time to crack them

The Briefing Podcast | 14 August 2024

The algorithms that decide what we experience on social media, and on the internet in general, have a profound impact on the way we see the world.

Yet giant companies like Meta and Google keep the details of these algorithms and how exactly they influence each of us a closely guarded secret.

Now, researchers across the country are working to change that.

Daniel Angus is Professor of Digital Communication at the Queensland University of Technology and is part of a research partnership involving universities around the country called the Australian Internet Observatory.

He joins Bension Siebert on this episode of The Briefing Podcast to unpack how they're beginning to crack the social media code.
