„When technology disrupts the law. AI decides who gets a loan, who gets to go to university and who gets a job. Yet, these systems are often opaque and biased, and we have very little understanding how and why they make these life changing decisions. We need to ask ourselves is the law equipped to deal with these legal challenges? ”
