Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the practical aspects that should be considered while designing algorithms. We looked into the concept of algorithmic explainability and the various ways we can provide it at different levels. We also looked into the potential ethical issues in algorithms. Finally, we described which factors to consider while choosing an algorithm. 

Algorithms are engines in the new automated world that we are witnessing today. It is important to learn about, experiment with, and understand the implications of using algorithms. Understanding their strengths and limitations and the ethical implications of using algorithms will go a long way in making this world a better place to live in. And this book is an effort to achieve this important goal in this ever-changing and evolving world.
