I've never read this one, though it's been on my list as a SF Classic that I'd like to read at some point.
I didn't know the GDPR covered that. I thought it was only for how they use the data. I doubt many big tech companies want their to be any transparency over their algorithms. I think AI will fast outpace any measures that are meant to be put in place. Soon the AI will be generating its own AI (only half joking...)!
I think it's because of situations like evaluating applicants for jobs. If someone is rejected because of an AI algorithm, it's not great that they can't challenge the decision because nobody understands how it was arrived at!
It's alive! It's alive! It's alive! Such a classic! Really made me laugh this morning, Terry. Another film with a similar theme to Flowers for Algernon is Awakenings ( Robert De Niro and Robin Williams). As for your AI question... I have a feeling we will not know the true danger until it is too late, and it is already too late. Reminds me of the truism that the first symptom of heart disease is cardiac arrest...
Oh gosh, I remember reading Flowers for Algernon many years ago - no, actually I think I came across it as a dramatisation in Radio 4's 'Afternoon Play' slot one day. It broke my heart! 💔
So much to absorb.
And we can't absorb AI, but much to think about.
Thanks sorta, for posting, my intelligent synapses are firing fast--but will that diminish? and maybe that's a good thing?

Oh! Yes! Terrifying….
