<![CDATA[Algorithms have become an integral part of everyday life, particularly in entertainment, shopping, and navigation. This study examines how algorithms influence individual decision-making. Data were collected through an online poll involving 200 respondents, selected using a statistical sampling method. The results indicate that 55% of respondents perceive algorithms as having a significant influence on their decisions, while 28% report a moderate impact. A confidence interval analysis (95%) has been included to ensure statistical accuracy. The study highlights the importance of digital literacy in mitigating algorithmic bias and suggests future research on how socio-cultural factors shape algorithmic perceptions. This research contributes to understanding the extent of algorithmic influence on daily decision-making and raises user awareness of technology’s impact. The implications include the importance of digital literacy to mitigate dependency and bias in algorithm usage and the potential to develop more transparent and ethical algorithmic systems. Future research could explore the relationship between users' awareness of algorithms and their behaviors in various contexts and evaluate ways to enhance public understanding of how algorithms function in the evolving digital ecosystem.]]>
