Who is responsible if AI turns out to be a curse rather than a blessing? Algorithms decide whether we are creditworthy, whether we are entitled to social welfare or even which partner is the right one for us. We expose the devastating consequences of algorithms taking control of our lives. From the young girl driven to anorexia by YouTube’s recommendation algorithm to the mother forced into hiding by a faulty safety assessment, the human cost of AI’s mistakes is devastating. It’s not just the technology that’s at fault – the real culprits are the developers and companies behind the algorithms.

In order to make our website as user-friendly as possible, we have i.a. social media embedded on our website. This allows you to share content with your loved ones on the appropriate network with just a few clicks. We also use anonymous tracking technology, which gives us information about e.g. the user behavior, but also the effectiveness and ergonomics of our website. For this purpose, we also use services that may be based outside the European Union (especially in the USA), where the level of data protection may be lower than in Germany.
