Project Ö: Questions about explainable technology

The members of the Public Project Ö communicate the interdisciplinary research projects and results of TRR 318 to the general public. The focus here is on an exchange with society: in line with the concept of co-construction, the computer scientists and sociologists organise workshops primarily with school classes and medical students and later with stakeholders and politicians. In the events, the participants take on an active role and explore systems with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their own way. The aim of the project is to sensitise previously underrepresented social groups to the use of AI.
