Purpose and Goal of IRIS
The Interchange Forum for Reflecting on Intelligent Systems (IRIS) provides a platform to stimulate, develop and promote critical reflection on intelligent systems and their impact on society.
IRIS works closely with the Excellence Clusters SimTech and IntCDC and provides a space for exchange across interdisciplinary and university boundaries. IRIS addresses sensitive topics such as responsible human-computer interaction, ethical and societal challenges, and the risks and benefits of automated decision-making in various fields of application, and designs integrative reflection offerings for research, study, teaching, and transfer.
Questions investigated in IRIS:
- What are the effects of intelligent systems on society?
- How can we avoid unfair discrimination or stereotyping through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in automated decision-making in technology development?
- How can we promote reflection on intelligent systems through education and teaching?
- How can we make sure that the decisions made by artificial intelligence are comprehensible and fair?
SRF IRIS for Excellence
IRIS stands out from formats at other universities due to the diversity of the target group, the comprehensive range of engagement opportunities, and the collaboration with internationally renowned partners from industry, science and society. Among others, we are connected to the Cyber Valley and the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach. This transdisciplinary interchange makes IRIS truly unique!
