There has never been a more urgent time to advocate for an Algorithmic Duty of Care. Algorithmic Duty of Care, could easily be called Algorithm Love Thy Neighbor, and that is its subtitle.
The book is timely because in the rush to "algorithmify" the world we live in, it reminds us of who we are: the concept of love they neighbor is in every religion of the world and it is at the heart of law. But it's not in our algorithms (YET). This is important to consider because algorithms are now the gatekeepers in many areas of our lives. The book is also timely, and a fast read on what is happening in the US and the world to protect people. By considering our new digital worlds as "digital kingdoms" we can see the relevance of Magna Carta, an ancient document that has been influential in the governments and societies of the modern world. Uncontrolled power, in the form of a King, has through history, never turned out well. We can learn from history's lessons, and remember that we are not mere consumes of this world, we are designing it. We can bring these ancient ideas into our designs and laws. In fact, it is already happening. In the book you learn about real world court cases, such as the Horizon IT Postal scandal, Robodebt and the Dutch child benefits scandal, some involving thousands of human lives that have been upended, by algorithmic and AI harm. These court cases, and the damage that led to them, are part of what is driving the development of new laws and policies. The outcomes of these cases is driving a new way of business; all of our lives will ultimately be shaped by such cases. Around the world, from Brussels to Brazil, a rapid new body of law is developing to regulate algorithms and AI systems. It is clear our societies need such protections, both explicitly as policy and law, and algorithmically. As I write this, 45 grieving families whose children were harmed by social media are protesting in front of Meta's corporate New York City headquarters, demanding the company institute better safeguards for kids within its social media platforms. This includes presenting a formal letter, signed by over 10,000 people (!), including prominent online safety groups, urging Meta's leadership to implement meaningful changes to its Facebook and Instagram digital properties.
This moment, poignant as it is, reflects only one facet of a larger, more profound narrative. While the societal impact of social media is undeniably vast, the reach of algorithms actually extends far beyond social platforms and even our screens: algorithms now weave themselves into the very fabric of our lives-shaping education, finance, healthcare, employment, entertainment, and even our justice system. Simply put, the "algorithmification" of society is happening at a breakneck pace, and its implications demand our full attention. Now. This book is a guide to what is happening. If you are interested in AI education, this book needs to be a core essential. It is also helpful to hand to someone who may be looking to come up to speed quickly on this rapid global transformation and the issues at stake - from China's smart courts to the automatic creation of law in the UAE.

Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
