From facial recognition to personalized recommendations, artificial intelligence algorithms have quietly become the decision-makers of modern life—from hiring and selection to credit approval, and even predicting crime risk.

Or could over-reliance on algorithms erode human autonomy and ethical responsibility? Please articulate your position on this issue and support your viewpoint with concrete examples.
