Learn what an algorithm is with this KS1 primary computing guide from BBC Bitesize for years 1 and 2. We will define what an algorithm is and how they work.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Artificial intelligence algorithms that were developed by computer scientist Anderson de Rezende Rocha, who is a professor at the Institute of Computing of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), have ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

These applications are based on quantum algorithms—algorithms that run on a quantum computer and achieve a speedup, or other efficiency improvement, over any possible classical algorithm.

DeepMind’s AlphaDev adopted an unconventional approach to uncover faster algorithms by venturing into the realm of computer assembly instructions — a domain seldom explored by humans.

Black box algorithms make it very difficult to understand how AIs work, but the situation isn’t quite black and white. The opposite of a black box is sometimes referred to as a glass box.
