responsible AI

AI and related digital technologies have become a disruptive force in our societies and the calls for ethical frameworks and regulation have become louder. We hold that responsibility is a key concept for anchoring AI innovation to human rights, ethics and human flourishing.

As an interdisciplinary working group we have been working on this topic at the University of Freiburg since 2018. Prof. Dr. Wolfram Burgard, Dr. Philipp Kellmeyer, Prof. Dr. Oliver Müller, Prof. Dr. Silja Vöneky

“Artificial Intelligence will become an important asssitive technology for humanity.
Importantly, human values and human flourishing should be at the center of AI development.”

Dr. Philipp Kellmeyer

“The changes of human understanding, agency, and alterity need to be reflected as one of the big challenges of AI.”

Prof. Dr. Oliver Müller

“As always when we have the chance to get a new, powerful technological tool, we have to answer the question how we can make sure that we as a society will make the right choices – or at least minimize the risk that we will make the wrong choices; and how do we decide what is right and wrong”
