Increasingly complex algorithms currently influence our lives more than ever. Well known examples include smartphones, internet search engines, financial markets, traffic control systems, and many more.  The areas of AI application are diverse and their capacity constantly improves. The operation of AI algorithms, for the most part, proceed without incident, but the potential damages can have terrifying consequences and, therefore, should not be ignored. The seminar will cover certain legal, ethical, and technical threats and challenges posed by AI.
