Scientists talked about the fact that the life of a modern person and the whole world is subject to invisible algorithms, thanks to which both ordinary household decisions are made and serious issues affecting the life of an entire country are resolved.
Experts have suggested that algorithms work everywhere, from trips to the store, where marketers display the product in such a way as to draw the attention of the buyer to a specific product and "make" him want to buy the product, to social networks.
It's no secret that popular projects like Facebook monitor every movement of the user, offer him to add people with whom in ordinary life a person might not communicate, show advertisements for certain goods. Thus, algorithms are imperceptibly introduced into the lives of all people and begin to control their actions.
As an example, scientists drew attention to the latest political events in the United States. In order to win the choice, Trump turned to marketers and PR specialists. They, in turn, used algorithms that searched for potential voters and gave them the information they needed. As a result, Donald Trump won.
According to scientists, already now invisible algorithms can change a person's character, habits and addictions, and even affect sexual orientation.
