Regulation of algorithms

Regulation of algorithms is the process of making rules and laws that help to control how computer programs (also known as algorithms) can be used or behave. By regulating algorithms, we can ensure that computers do the things that are expected of them and do not cause any harm or negative impacts. For example, algorithms might be used to study people’s behavior or to provide people with advice, and regulation of algorithms would help to make sure that these algorithms do not make any bad or wrong decisions. Regulation of algorithms can also protect people’s safety and privacy, ensuring that computers are used in a fair and responsible way.
