Symposium: 'Recommender Systems: Legal and Ethical Issues'

Due to their global and fast spread in the last decade, both legal and philosophical research has yet to explore the implications that recommender systems have for our lives in a digitalized society. The ever-changing technological landscape requires a detailed philosophical and ethical analysis of Recommender Systems to both evaluate existing legislation and shape future regulatory measures. This conference will kick-start this important work bringing together scholars working on the philosophical, ethical, and legal aspects of recommender systems and their environments as well as from scholars working in neighboring, related fields.
