Apps: When Machines Decide

We live in an age where apps don’t just respond to us — they decide for us.

From suggesting what movie to watch next to approving loans or flagging resumes, algorithms are quietly shaping our choices.

But who programs these digital decision-makers? Often, it's a mix of data, pattern recognition, and machine learning.

While this can be incredibly efficient, it also raises big questions about transparency, bias, and accountability.

So next time your favorite app recommends a restaurant or tells you who to date — pause and wonder: is it your choice, or the machine’s?
