Whether we are booking a flight, applying for a loan, or looking for a life partner on an Internet platform, a machine is often involved on the side of our contractual partner, arriving at a decision or proposal on the basis of an algorithm-supported preselection. The use of algorithms and artificial intelligence raises a variety of questions, some of which are of a legal nature, but also relate to ethics, economics and technology. The book - which reproduces the presentations and discussions at a conference in Bonn - explores these questions: In which areas is regulation necessary, and in which can the development and use of algorithms be left to the market?
