Yet, this understanding is not based on the scientific study of information. Law relies on the ordinary meaning of information: something which has meaning to\u00a0a human.\u00a0Information has impact when humans know and use it. This human-centric understanding, however, is unhelpful when law tackles algorithmic processes. Advanced algorithms draw meaning where humans see none and convert information to impact without humans,\u00a0beyond human grasp.\u00a0Data protection and discrimination law are just two legal areas that fall into the trap of regulating information without understanding it,\u00a0unproductively targeting algorithmic processes based on notions of human cognitive interpretation.\u00a0","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.ivir.nl\/publicaties\/download\/Purtova_L-909x1136.jpg","thumbnail_width":909,"thumbnail_height":1136}
