| Beschreibung |
As AI technologies models increasingly shape industries, communication, and decision-making, understanding their impact has never been more urgent. Participants will work on timely research questions across key areas related to the societal impact of AI, including bias and fairness, misinformation and disinformation, ethical and economical consequences, as well es regulatory frameworks. The specific research questions will be presented at the project fair.
After initial engagement with the relevant literature and tools, participants will conduct hands-on empirical research, including data analysis, AI prototypes, and surveys or experiments. The format offers students the opportunity to develop their skills in their area of interest, to get to know the lab’s research, and (evtl.) work towards their first publication.
The project concludes with writing sessions, and the expected output will be a draft of an investigative report or scientific paper. Participants’ results will contribute to an ongoing global conversation about how society can navigate the development of AI technologies in a way that enable their benefits while minimizing risks. |
