This research project investigates how EU law responds to algorithmic decision-making and protects individuals from the harms of algorithmic bias and discrimination. This will determine whether EU law possesses thetechnological competence to safely regulate algorithmic decision-making and prevent individuals from being exposed to unfair and discriminatory decisions or whether legal reform is necessary. If so, the research project will assesswhat such reform should look like. The thesis will conduct the investigation in different administrative and adjudicative contexts and specifically examine the effectiveness of the following legal frameworks in EU law: i) anti-discrimination and equality laws (ii) privacy and data protection laws (iii) technology law reforms. The research contributes to our understanding of what equality means in an algorithmic context and whether such issynonymous to the human world. The research advances the legal-doctrinal debate further so that academics, policy-Tmakers and practitioners better understand how the law can develop its own body of principles and rules that havethe technological competence to safeguard equality in the algorithmic world.

该研究项目调查了欧盟法律如何应对算法决策，并保护个人免受算法偏见和歧视的危害。这将确定欧盟法律是否具有安全规范算法决策的技术能力，并防止个人暴露于不公平和歧视性决策，或者是否有必要进行法律改革。如果是这样，研究项目将评估这种改革的外观。该论文将在不同的行政和审判背景下进行调查，并专门研究以下法律框架在欧盟法律中的有效性：i）反歧视和平等法（ii）隐私和数据保护法（III）技术法律改革。这项研究有助于我们理解平等在算法背景下的含义，以及这种对人类世界是否义的。该研究进一步进行了法律辩论，以使学者，政策制定者和从业者更好地了解法律如何发展自己的原则和规则，这些原则和规则和规则能够维护算法世界中的技术能力。
