Hi everyone! This blog is going to discuss some outlooks of my final project. As time goes by, the direction of my final paper is gradually clear. After completing the exclusion and inequality assignment and further research, I believe that algorithms brought by big data have brought more or less inequality to the world. However, […]

Today is remembrance day in the UK and it made me wonder about whether this was the future my grandparents and their generation hoped for at the end of the Second World War. Is the state of this world one they felt proud to fight for? In the UK many great things came out of […]
