Final publication of the COHUBICOL Research Study on Computational Law

Today we have published the final version of the Research Study on Computational Law, written by COHUBICOL postdoctoral researchers Pauline McBride and Laurence Diver.

The Research Study is part of the core output of the COHUBICOL. It is the project’s second Research Study, focusing on the potential impact of data- and code-driven technologies on law, the Rule of Law and legal protection.

Hildebrandt reviews Matsumi and Solove’s paper on The Prediction Society

 1 Dec 2023 ▪

Daniel J. Solove, Professor of Intellectual Property and Technology Law at the George Washington University Law School - and one of the global thought leaders on privacy matters - and Hideyuki Matsumi, a doctoral researcher of the Law, Science, Technology and Society Research Group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (LSTS), have co-authored the paper ‘The Prediction Society: Algorithms and the Problems of Forecasting the Future’.

In their paper they state that algorithmic predictions are types of inferences that current privacy and data protection laws fail to adequately address. They argue that the use of algorithmic predictions is a distinct issue warranting different treatment from other types of inference and they further examine the issues laws must consider when addressing the problems of algorithmic predictions.
