Algorithmic Transformation and Diffusion of Power: Trust, Conflict, Uncertainty and Control

Algorithmic systems and artificial intelligence, as manifestations of digitization, are increasingly permeating more and more areas of modern lives. This volume brings together interdisciplinary contributions from leading international experts on current issues concerning the transformation of established normative orders into a predictive society, how algorithmic normativity challenges trust and control as central concepts of legal governance, creates uncertainty, influences political processes, changes power and order in democracies, and leads to the diffusion of power. Last but not least, it examines the extent to which its use requires democratic participation and (co-)design when trust, control and normative binds are uncertain.
