Which paths to achieve fairness in algorithmic decisions?

The workshop will be multidisciplinary, with a focus on the intersection and cross-fertilization of computer science, law, and policy analysis. It will address the question of how to regulate algorithmic decisions, through hard law or soft law. It will also address the possibilities and obstacles to complementarity between computer science and legal approaches to fairness. Finally, the workshop will aim to shed light on the policy issues surrounding explicable, transparent and accountable algorithms.
