Stephen Oram’s story 'The Potential’ read by the author at Virtual Futures' Near-Future Fictions on the theme of Autonomous Agents.

The consequences of automation are a key concern for a society that is exporting much of its decision making to algorithms, automation and artificial intelligence.

These decision-making entities operate on certain assumptions, biases and preconceptions about the world - many of which are inherited from those who programmed them.

Despite this companies and institutions are introducing algorithmic thinking into the heart of their infrastructure at a rapid rate. They are allowing algorithmic cognition, whose processes of reasoning remain enigmatic, to manipulate and draw findings from the data it is fed.

Our authors consider a future with autonomous agents.
