On November 26th 2024, the IBM Innovation Studio and the Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (IEAI) co-hosted an event at the IBM Watson Center in Munich. The event focused on human decision-making and the responsible design of generative AI, which aligns with the objectives of the MoralPLai Project.
The IBM x IEAI Event on Generative AI, Human Decision-Making & Ethical Design in brief
The evening kicked off with a compelling introduction by Rolf Löwisch, IBM’s Director of Data & AI, who underscored the company’s commitment to ethical AI. Dr. Franziska Poszler, Project Lead of MoralPLai, presented this innovative IEAI project, which investigates the influence of large language models (LLMs) on human decision-making.
Dr. Poszler also moderated a panel of speakers, including Prof. Christoph Lütge (Director of the IEAI, TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology), Dr. Markus Walk (Senior Advisory Architect for GenAI, IBM), Prof. Johannes Betz (Professorship of Autonomous Vehicle Systems, TUM School of Engineering and Design), and Prof. Nils Köbis (Chair Human Understanding of Algorithms and Machines, University of Duisburg-Essen).
