Una divertida apologÃa de los algoritmos que nos recuerdan que la humanidad no habrÃa llegado hasta donde está, para bien o para mal, sin sus asombrosas aplicaciones.
Nuestra vida está llena de algoritmos, y no es de extrañar, pues esta palabra tan en boga se refiere a procedimientos esenciales en nuestras vidas, aunque se haya convertido, para mucha gente, en sinónimo de algo perverso. Pero aquà está Clara Grima para recordarnos por qué les debemos tanto. Con su humor marca de la casa averiguaremos cómo estos maravillosos procedimientos permiten que nuestro mundo sea como es y, sobre todo, como será. Arrancando en la antigua Grecia, con algoritmos que nos parecerán muy simples y que aún seguimos usando hoy en dÃa en algo tan moderno como la seguridad informática, viajaremos después al espacio para descubrir cómo hicieron posible viajar a la Luna. De vuelta a la Tierra, conoceremos algoritmos que acortan nuestros desplazamientos y otros que nos regalan la música digital y las fotos para Instagram. También nos asombraremos con algoritmos que imitan a las hormigas o a nuestras neuronas para encontrar las mejores soluciones a distintos problemas.
La inteligencia artificial y sus dilemas serán la última parada de este alucinante paseo por el mundo de los algoritmos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A witty and engaging defense of algorithms that reminds us that humanity would not have reached where it is today, for better or worse, without their astonishing applications.
Our lives are full of algorithms, and it is no surprise, since this buzzword refers to essential procedures in our everyday lives, even though for many people it has become synonymous with something dark or harmful. But Clara Grima is here to remind us why we owe them so much. With her trademark humor, she shows how these remarkable processes make our world what it is and, above all, what it will become. Starting in ancient Greece, with algorithms that may seem simple but are still used today in fields as modern as cybersecurity, the journey then takes us into space to discover how algorithms made it possible to travel to the Moon. Back on Earth, we explore algorithms that shorten our journeys and those that give us digital music and photos for Instagram. We are also amazed by algorithms inspired by ants and even our own neurons, designed to find the best solutions to complex problems.
Artificial intelligence and its dilemmas are the final stop on this fascinating tour through the world of algorithms.
