Virtual lecture series during the summer semester 2022
Whereas data sets were previously a tool for making predictions about how to deal with uncertainty, the so-called “algorithmic turn” is increasingly leading to a society of predictions, in which individual and group behavior is consistently evaluated on a large scale and future shaping is undertaken on this basis. Instead of legal, institutional and individual processing and experience, probabilities and statistics now dominate. On the one hand, this makes the future more predictable, but on the other hand, it also makes it more susceptible to events that are not captured by such predictions – for example, because they occur too rarely or are caused by chance. At the same time, the control of (legal) decisions changes, because it must now increasingly look at the decision-making process.
