JD Miller TED Stage Reclaiming Humanity in the Age of the Algorithm

When an algorithm mistook his tiny Chicago balcony for an influencer, JD Miller received 120 pounds of steak rub at his door. Realizing we've outsourced social judgment to machines optimized for speed over truth, Dr. Miller draws on network theory and his private equity career to share three radical ways to "fire the algorithm" and re-center human connection.
