But there is a dark side to big data. Will it be machines, rather than people, that make the decision? How do you regulate an algorithm? What will happen to privacy? Will individuals be punished for acts they have yet to commit?In this groundbreaking and fascinating book, two of the world's most-respected big data experts reveal the reality of a new world and outline clear and actionable steps that will equip the reader with the tools needed for this next phase of human evolution.This new and expanded edition also details the effects big data is having on education and learning.
