Interdisciplinary Conference

8 December 2023, 9:00 – 17:30 CET
Universität Kassel & Online via Zoom

*Last-minute change*: The workshop can only take place online via Zoom (Link will be provided after registration).

The conference aims to delve into the profound influence of generative AI on the workforce and job market. Distinguished speakers from diverse backgrounds will provide their perspectives on this pertinent topic. Scholars from computer science will shed light on the technological advancements and challenges posed by generative AI in the labour landscape. Legal tech experts will discuss the legal and ethical implications surrounding the integration of algorithmic decision-making in workplaces. Business administration scholars will analyse the potential disruptions and opportunities arising from AI adoption. Additionally, speakers from companies, NGOs, and employer associations will share real-world experiences and strategies to adapt to this evolving AI-driven employment landscape.

Thus, the conference promises to foster an informed dialogue and explore solutions for a harmonious coexistence of humans and AI in the workforce. It is organised by the project group Responsible Algorithmic Decision-Making (RADM).

Interdisciplinary Conference

13 October 2023, 10:00 – 17:15 CEST
Universität Kassel

Access to data is a sensitive issue, legally, morally, socially. Who should have access to data, who should control this access? How can
sensitive personal data be protected from misuse? How can the public interest in the use of data be guaranteed? How can data access rules be designed effectively and responsibly? Such questions are very much on the political agenda, as data access is currently being re-regulated in different contexts, at national and European level, in different areas such as research and health.

The conference organised by the project group Data Access Rules will therefore address fundamental normative problems against the background of current legislative projects and critically discuss them from an interdisciplinary perspective. The focus will not only be on the content and structure of concrete regulatory proposals, but also on how the various projects systematically fit together and what need for discussion arises for the future.

Friday, 13 October 2023, 10:00 – 17:15 CEST

Please note: The conference will be held in German.

Registration until 9 October (see programme).

Interdisciplinary Conference

6 October 2023, 13:45 – 18:15 CEST
Online via Zoom

While corporate communications have long been the subject of intensive corporate governance research, a paradigm shift towards fast, adaptive and widely available communication media can be observed with the advance of digitisation. This also affects the communication of shareholders, corporate bodies and intermediaries, especially investors and investment advisors.

Against this background, the conference will provide a wide-ranging overview of the international state of research in the fields of law, philosophy and economics and contrast it with initial empirical findings of the project group. On this basis, further implications for the normative sciences will also be discussed.

The conference is organised by the project group Digitisation of Corporate Communications (DigUKom).

Friday, 6 October 2023, 13:45 – 18:15 CEST

Registration until 4 October 2023 via

KI – Text und Geltung. Wie verändern KI-Textgeneratoren wissenschaftliche Diskurse?

Interdisciplinary Conference
25 & 26 August 2023
TU Darmstadt & online via Zoom

The conference will deal with the disruptive potential of digital technologies as well as with the challenges that the use of AI text generators poses for future work with and on texts.

The range of questions addressed in this context to very different disciplines – from philosophy, theology, linguistics, literature and history to computer science and technology assessment to communication science, business psychology and educational science – varies considerably. The discourses of these disciplines will be the subject of this conference organised by the ad hoc project Discourses of disruptive digital technologies using the example of AI text generators.

Friday, 25 August 2023, 13:30 – 21:15 CEST
Saturday, 26 August 2023, 9:00 – 15:45 CEST

Registration open until 23 August (Zoom) resp. 18 August (in person) via
