The ethical use of algorithms

is a solved topic

Smart contracts are legal

contracts that require prior approval by an agency and that are included in a

blockchain

The phrase ‘Code as Law’ referring

to smart contracts implies that if a system includes a smart contract, it does

not require you to obey the law, since the smart contract replaces it.

There is a strong relationship between the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and the use of new technologies in governmental processes

Algorithms, by definition, always produce fair outputs

Thin rules are the type of rules more closely related to algorithms

Algorithms such as blockchains only have speculative uses

Thick rules are the type of rules most closely related to algorithms

Algorithm-based systems can contribute to the achievement of the SDG (sustainable development goals)

Algorithmic regulation and governance refers only to the acts enacted by governments
