The Algorithm Is Not Your Friend – But It Could Be! 

Date: Friday 24 July Time: 2:00pm – 2:50pm 
Location: Fringe Room 1
Format: Keynote   

Dee Madigan

Join Dee Madigan to explore how algorithms shape what we see online, why they amplify division, and how understanding the maths behind them can help us navigate the digital world more effectively.
