Duet Inter­views

Big Data out of the box by Dr Caldarola

Dr Maria Cristi­na Cal­daro­la – Host of “Duet Interviews”

I am grate­ful to the many of you who pur­chased my book Big Data and Law, sub­se­quent to my post announc­ing the book’s pub­li­ca­tion in Eng­lish and Man­darin in addi­tion to the orig­i­nal Ger­man version.

The response from read­ers has been over­whelm­ing, under­scor­ing the need for more infor­ma­tion about legal, reg­u­la­to­ry and oth­er aspects of Big Data, as cur­rent events con­tin­ue to keep this top­ic in the headlines.

Clear­ly the top­ic of Big Data and GDPR is so vast and so dynam­ic that I’ve decid­ed to con­tin­ue shar­ing my exper­tise through a series of inter­views and blogs.

I will speak with experts about Big Data and ask them the burn­ing ques­tions we are all won­der­ing about con­cern­ing this provoca­tive topic.

Duet will be a series of month­ly blogs where I will be inter­view­ing not­ed guests on top­ics relat­ed to Big Data as well as GDPR.

I will be ask­ing legal, eth­i­cal, tech­ni­cal, geo-polit­i­cal and even philo­soph­i­cal ques­tions sur­round­ing Big Data today to start mean­ing­ful dis­cus­sions about why and how Big Data will impact our present and future lives.

My guests and I will exchange ideas, iden­ti­fy chal­lenges, pro­pose solu­tions and, in the process, make the sub­ject of Big Data more inspir­ing to you.

Be informed on these vital issues and fol­low me on this impor­tant journey!

Are algo­rithms tak­ing over?

Sophie Borchert

Algo­rithms, spe­cial forms of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, are influ­enc­ing our mod­ern world more and more. They analyse a lot of data in a short time and dis­cov­er new, sur­pris­ing infor­ma­tion and con­nec­tions. We humans sim­ply place our trust in the poten­tial of algo­rithms because our minds are not able to under­stand the com­plex­i­ty of infor­ma­tion pro­cess­ing and smart devices often make our lives more pleas­ant by reliev­ing us of the cog­ni­tive work. How is this dis­rup­tive tech­nol­o­gy chang­ing our every­day life, our soci­ety and our democracy?

In the lat­est of her Duet inter­views, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and Sophie Borchert dis­cuss the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a shift from democ­ra­cy towards an algo­c­ra­cy tak­ing place.

Prof. Dr. Katha­ri­na Zweig – Pho­to: Felix Schmitt

Do you know how old algo­rithms real­ly are? Or where they came from? What is an algo­rithm? Are there dif­fer­ent types of algo­rithms…? Muham­mad al-Khwariz­i­mi was a 9th cen­tu­ry Per­sian astronomer and math­e­mati­cian. His text­book On Indi­an Numer­als was trans­lat­ed into Latin four cen­turies lat­er. It is con­sid­ered the most impor­tant source for the Indo-Ara­bic numer­al sys­tem and writ­ten arith­metic. His sur­name even sounds pho­net­i­cal­ly like an algo­rithm “Algo­ris­mi”. Ada Lovelace was the first per­son to write down an algo­rithm intend­ed for a com­put­er in 1843. She is con­sid­ered to be the first female programmer.

In the lat­est of her Duet inter­views, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and IT-Expert Prof. Dr Katha­ri­na Zweig talk about algo­rithms and heuris­tics and their dai­ly use.

Hans-Jür­gen Jakobs

In his new book, Hans Jür­gen Jakobs describes the monop­o­lies of our cen­tu­ry in some depth. He exam­ines issues, such as whether monop­o­lies engen­der depen­den­cies, for­feit diver­si­ty, erode healthy com­pe­ti­tion, and lead to anar­chy. Are our con­tem­po­rary monop­o­lists clever enough to deprive states­men of their pow­er? Or has human cre­ativ­i­ty always brought down monop­o­lies in the end?

In the lat­est of her Duet inter­views, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, and Hans-Jür­gen Jakobs dis­cuss the con­cept of monop­o­lies and their effects on today’s life.
