Recording of the second JDR conference "Opacity vs. Transparency"

1 November 2022, by Internetredaktion

On July 22 and 23, 2022, the 2nd conference of the Young Digital Law Research Network, organized by the Center for Law in the Digital Transformation (ZeRdiT) in cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans Bredow Institute, took place in Hamburg under the title "Opacity vs. Transparency".

“Opacity or Transparency” is a more and more relevant dichotomy in the current debate on digitality, whose technical and business architecture affects the lives of many, both individually and collectively, without being accessible. What should be the role of law in addressing the dichotomy that is shaping modern societies? Led by great talks, we will delve into the core meaning of “Opacity or Transparency”, by analyzing the whys and hows of implementing transparency, the challenges posed by AI and algorithms in legally relevant decision-making, as well as prominent issues in private, privacy, public, medical and finance law.You can find a detailed conference report here and the complete conference program here. here.
