 of learning\, are increasingly controlling various aspects of modern socie
 ty: from social interactions (e.g.\, Facebook\, Twitter\, Google\, YouTube
 )\, economics (e.g.\, Uber\, AirBnB\, Banking)\, learning (e.g.\, Wikipedi
 a\, MOOCs)\, to governance (Judgements\, Policing\, Voting). These algorit
 hms have a tremendous potential to change our lives for the better\, but\,
  via the ability to mimic and nudge human behavior\, they also have the po
 tential to be discriminatory\, reinforce societal prejudices\, and polariz
 e opinions. These twofold developments have given rise to a plethora of qu
 estions at the interface of computer science and scientific disciplines su
 ch as sociology\, economics\, psychology\, and law. The goal of this inten
 sive one-day workshop is to discuss some of these emerging challenges from
  different viewpoints and brainstorm potential ways forward.
