Algorithms are also used to provide suggestions and advice. This includes algorithms that suggest courses of action or scenarios about future developments based on regularities identified in past data. Examples include algorithms that recommend users of digital media platforms content of potential interest, algorithms that advice police forces on where to expect a concentration of criminal activity, or algorithms that advice doctors on whether specific symptoms indicate a specific disease. Algorithms play a crucial role in decision-making processes across various sectors, helping individuals and organizations to make informed choices by offering data-driven suggestions.
In discussing these algorithms, their uses, effects, and evaluation, it is helpful to differentiate between algorithms providing advice and suggestions to experts and those providing advice and suggestions for lay people and users of digital communication environments and services.
