Abstract

With the increasing importance of algorithms in our daily lives, legal researchers have tried to answer if current legal systems are able to tackle damages caused by algorithms. Most of the doctrine has answered negatively to this question, but there has been a lack of in-depth research considering the valuable inputs that may be taken from other ciences (e.g., sociology, computer science) to provide a comprehensive proposal on how to address the legal uncertainties raised by this not-so-new technology. That is precisely the gap filled by the book written by Dr Beckers and Prof Dr Teubner.
