In the ”Studying User Perceptions and Experiences with Algorithms” workshop, there were many interesting questions popping up. Here are some of them:

• How can we build better algorithms to diversify information users are exposed to?
• Do most people care about knowing how Google works?
• What’s the ”count to 10” equivalent for online discussions? How to avoid snap judgments?
