Duration: September 2021 until February 2023
Digital technologies of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning raise a variety of normative questions, such as the liability for algorithmic decisions. Answering these questions requires norms that are, due to the innovative nature of those technologies, only beginning to emerge. The formation of norms takes place at different levels and by different actors – partly as ethical guidelines drafted by experts, partly as mechanisms embedded in technology, partly through the application of existing law, partly through legislative action. There are also differences in design and scope, with regulatory approaches that are partly sector-specific and partly technology-specific. The project group aims at analysing the formation of norms, systematising the complex body of norms and searching for effective enforcement mechanisms at the intersection of law, ethics, technology and market mechanisms.

Research Ethics for AI Research Projects
Guidelines | 27 February 2023
Research ethics assessment of research projects is a common practice in science and is also provided by ethics committees at universities. In the field of so-called artificial intelligence, research in many disciplines has gained a new level of intervention. The potential scope of technological impacts, but also the ethics of the research process itself (subjects, data protection, quality assurance) is large in AI research and in research with AI.
Against this background, the guidelines offer support for the work of ethics committees at universities.
The document was first published in German on 2 November 2022.
“Wie reguliert man künstliche Intelligenz?”
Jurafuchs Podcast Episode 22 feat. Prof. Dr. Florian Möslein
Which legal problems arise when using Artificial Intelligence? How does the EU intend to regulate AI? Can companies be legally required to use AI? In the podcast of the Jurafuchs learning platform, Prof. Dr. Florian Möslein talks about legal challenges and framework conditions in the use and development of Artificial Intelligence.
