Algorithms no excuse for cartel behaviour, says European commish • The Register
'European Commissioner has urged competition enforcers to keep an eye out for cartels that use software “to work more effectively”, in a speech about algorithms and competition today. '
'That's precisely the issue in our case with Google Shopping."'
'The commission is currently investigating Google over allegations that its comparison shopping and advertising-related practices breach EU rules. '
'She said: “We’re not yet dealing with an algorithm quite as smart as [Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s] Deep Thought. '
'But we do have computers that are more powerful than many of us could have imagined a few years ago. '
Speaking of 'algorithms' as a general concept is to me a hallmark of somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about.
