Noah Giansiracusa’s Bio

Noah Giansiracusa, PhD in math from Brown University, is an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University (a business school near Boston) and a visiting scholar at Harvard. After publishing the book How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News in July 2021 (about which Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer said "There is no better guide to the strategies and stakes of this battle for the future"), Noah has gotten more involved in public writing and public speaking and policy discussions concerning data-driven algorithms and their role in society. He's appeared on CNN live and BBC radio and written for Washington Post, Scientific American, TIME, Wired, Boston Globe, and others. His latest book, Robin Hood Math, explores how people of all backgrounds can use math to help navigate life and take back control in a world dominated by algorithms. He is also cohost of the AI in Academia podcast.
