Responsible algorithmic decision-making in the workplace

Algorithmic decision-making (or “ADM”) already has a significant impact on how our modern workplace is organized, 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.

Despite having immense promise for businesses and governmental organizations, ADM also raises serious concerns as it often produces consequences that are detrimental to workers, resulting in unfair treatment, a loss of autonomy, exclusion, or even increasing precarity. Therefore, we seek to contribute to answering the following research question: How should work contexts shaped by ADM be designed to promote responsible treatment of workers? What technical, organizational and regulatory framework conditions should be established in such contexts?

Interdisciplinary Lecture Series

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?
