Guardrails

In an era where algorithms increasingly shape our choices, who's really in control, you or the code? Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger reveal how invisible forces guide our decisions, from aviation disasters to mortgage denials. They argue for "guardrails" that empower rather than replace human judgment, blending flexibility with structure.

In this KitUP, you'll learn:

• Why rigid algorithms fail where human interpretation succeeds

• How to design decision frameworks that preserve agency

• The balance between technological efficiency and human wisdom
