S03E02: A Journey Into The Rotting World of Algorithms
I've been reading "Weapons of Math Destruction" by Cathy O'Neill. She's a brilliant mathematician and statistician who realized how algorithms control our society through financial mechanisms or social media. She mentions a teacher who lost her job because of an algorithm that was supposed to improve the efficiency of the school system, but the algorithm organizes decisions along variables that ignore important aspects. We often only see algorithms influencing what we see on social media, but in reality they are behind advertising, popular sports, and even influencing consumption habits.
Today, these "simplified models of the world" shape social processes and influencing our lives. It's hard to imagine what will happen in a world permeated by AI in a few years, but one thing is certain: it will be worth keeping an eye on future events.

I think since this whole sentence is part of the anecdote, it should all be in past tense, even if this algorithm still exists and still makes these mistakes.
We often only senotice algorithms influencing what we see on social media, but in reality they are behind advertising, popular sports, and even influencing consumption habits.
We often only notice algorithms influencing what we see on social media, but in reality they are behind advertising, popular sports, and even influencing consumption habits.
Using "see" twice is a bit repetitive, so I have suggested a different word to prevent this.
You could also use "driving consumption habits" instead of using "influencing" twice, but that one doesn't sound as obvious to my ear, so I think it could go either way.
Today, these "simplified models of the world" shape social processes and influencinge our lives.
Today, these "simplified models of the world" shape social processes and influence our lives.
Both verbs would be in the infinitive here.
Here you are using "influence" again - consider alternatives like "shape our lives" or, if you want to be even stronger, "control our lives".

This is a super interesting topic - I might have to check this book out to learn more! Very well written, keep up the good work :)
