The synthesis of metal-organic porous complexes within supramolecular chemistry is a topic of great interest due to their versatile use, e.g., molecular storage, sensors, drug delivery, molecular extractors, catalysis, and enzyme mimics, with applications in various fields such as bio-, agricultural-, and pharmaceutical chemistry. This is possible because smaller molecules enter the macromolecule

This thesis examines how the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)regulate the use of AI in credit assess- ment, with a focus on protecting fundamental rights such as transpar- ency and non-discrimination.
