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.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
