Responsible algorithmic decision-making in the workplace

Interdisciplinary Lecture Series

Continuously, beginning on Monday, 5 December 2022, 15:00 (CET)

Online via Zoom (Zoom links see programme)

Algorithmic decision-making (or “ADM”) already has a significant impact on how our modern workplace is organised, whether it be through the selection of new hires, managing employees in their daily business, or assisting human decision-makers in the context of complex problems.

Against this background, the project group Responsible Algorithmic Decision Making in the Workplace is organising a series of lectures that will look at these developments from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. Among other things, the following questions will be addressed: How should work contexts shaped by ADM be designed to promote responsible treatment of workers? What technical, organisational and regulatory framework conditions should be established in such contexts?

eFin & Democracy: Citizen Lecture

Summer Semester 2022, Technische Universität Darmstadt

The digital transformation of the financial sector is in full swing, but the associated upheavals for democracy and the future society are not yet publicly tangible. Specialists know their way around – but mainly in individual segments. Impetus is needed to open up a space for discourse that shows relevance. Civil society participation and co-design, indeed only positioning and broader public discussion, require understanding and interdisciplinary exchange. Against this background, we have asked experts to create a knowledge base and to open the discussion.

The lecture series is offered at the Institute of Philosophy of the TU Darmstadt, addresses interdisciplinary registered listeners, but is also intended to be accessible to an interested general public. The sessions will be introduced and moderated by the organizers.

Mondays at 18:00 CEST

Hörsaal S1 03 | 223 (Altes Hauptgebäude) TU Darmstadt

Please send inquiries about the event via e-mail to efin[at]zevedi.de.

Big questions are:

  • How is digitisation transforming payments methods and the financial sector?
  • What are blockchain, fintech, cryptocurrencies, decentralised financial applications and co. anyway?
  • Which new players define a “digitised” financial world and how would they be sub-jected to state regulation?
  • How are sovereign tasks in the financial sector changing and what will become of the currency – specifically the euro – in European democracy?
  • How can democracies react when the financial world changes as profoundly as it is currently doing?
  • What opportunities are there for citizens to participate in the digital transformation of the financial sector?

Digitaler Euro: Pro und Contra

eFin & Democracy: Panel Discussion

18 July 2022, 18:00 CEST
Technische Universität Darmstadt

At the end of the Citizen Lecture “Verstehen Sie Krypto !” Petra Gehring (TU Darm-stadt/ZEVEDI) discussed the digital euro with Katharina Paust-Bokrezion (Deutsche Bank – Political Affairs) and Marcus Henrik Härtel (European Central Bank – ECB). Its introduction as a means of payment is currently being investigated by the ECB. Härtel reported in detail on the practical challenges of this process, which is still open to decision. In contrast, Paust-Bokrezion emphasized the perspectives of some European commercial banks, which are focused on cross-border payments and are reflected e.g. in the “European Payments Initiative”. Irrespective of the different emphases in detail, both emphasized the outstand-ing monetary importance of the project, especially in times of crisis.

In the discussion with the audience, various rather critical positions were articulated, which also referred to technical aspects of cashless payment with a new means of payment.

The discourse project Democracy Issues of the Digitalised Financial Sector – eFin & Democracy intends to address the need for more information and exchange with further events and communication offerings in the coming years.
