    CAISspecial: “Trustworthy AI: From Data Collection to Organisational Embedding in Educational Settings”

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    AI’s longstanding promise to improve education is now expanded and challenged by communicative AI and mobile AI use, highlighting both the opportunities and risks of automated feedback systems and privacy-preserving mobile-tracking methods that reveal how learners actually use AI tools in real learning contexts. These developments suggest that AI is becoming deeply embedded in both […]

    Lunchtime Talk: The Transnational Climate Governance of Digital Platforms in the Age of Generative AI

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    Large American digital platform companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have become more active in recent years in their climate initiatives and communications. As their energy needs become greater between ongoing growth and the energy intensity of generative AI technologies, these companies are under greater societal and government scrutiny for their carbon emissions, and seek […]

    Lunchtime Talk: Hybrid small-group collaboration: To what extent does group size influence the quality of collaboration?

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    Hybrid collaborative learning, in which co-located and remote learners participate simultaneously via video conferencing, has become increasingly common due to its high degree of flexibility and inclusiveness. However, the advantages of collaborative learning in hybrid settings cannot always be fully realized. Initial studies have shown that remote learners often feel isolated and less related to […]

    Playing the News: Disinformation and Fakes in Discourse and Serious Games

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    Disinformation and “fake news” are a highly relevant and pressing issue in politics and public debate. For some time now, they have also been a popular subject for board and card games, as well as for numerous browser and smartphone games on the internet. Some of these games aim to entertain by inventing absurd headlines, […]

    Reflecting on 1,000 Social Media Journeys: Generational Patterns in Platform Transition

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    Social media has billions of users, but we still do not fully understand why users prefer one platform over another. Establishing new platforms among already popular competitors is difficult. Prior research has richly documented people's experiences within individual platforms, yet situating those experiences within the entirety of a user's social media experience remains challenging. What […]

    A Conditional Companion: Lived Experiences of People with Mental Health Challenges Using LLMs

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for mental health support, yet little is known about how people with mental health challenges engage with them, how they evaluate their usefulness, and what design opportunities they envision. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with people in the UK who live with mental health conditions and have used […]

    Changing attitudes towards AI in museums

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    Today, museums address artificial intelligence as a topic and are being recognised as promising places to learn about AI. This project explores how museums can promote AI literacy. To this end, we employed a two-stage research design. First, we analysed the presentation of AI in thematic exhibitions in German museums in 2022-2023 through interviews with […]

    Lunchtime Talk: Enhancing Replicability in Computational Communication Science – A Proactive Approach

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    The emergence of the replication crisis has placed the integrity of research across the social and behavioral sciences under increased scrutiny. While awareness among the community has grown in recent years, in the field of communication science, proactive action has lagged, and replication studies remain relatively scarce. Our project, funded within the DFG Priority Program […]

    Lunchtime Talk: Standardising Justice in the Algorithmic Society: Premilinary Findings and Open Questions from our Working Group

    CAIS + virtuell Konrad-Zuse-Straße 2a, Bochum

    In 2024, the EU adopted the AI Act, a new set of rules for trustworthy artificial intelligence. The AI Act relies on standardisation, a regulatory technique that consists in crafting so-called harmonised technical standards, to facilitate legal compliance by the AI industry. While technical standards have been used in the past for ensuring product safety, […]
