πŸ€–βš™οΈ How much trust does AI deserve?
At the 2nd AI Workshop in Dortmund, Nicole KrΓ€mer (Social Psychology, Media & Communication) spoke about calibrated trust – finding the right balance in relying on AI.
🧠 Sven Mayer (Human-AI Interaction) highlighted intelligent assistance systems that help humans and machines work better together.
πŸ’‘ A key takeaway: trustworthy AI is not only about technology – it’s about people, context, and responsibility.

πŸ€–πŸš— AI is moving into the physical world – but how do we verify it?
Prof. Daniel Neider from the Department of Computer Science at TU Dortmund University joined a Shonan Meeting πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅, a selective research seminar bringing together experts in AI, formal methods, and robotics.
The focus:
πŸ”¬ LLM-guided synthesis
πŸ§ͺ testing
πŸ“ verification of learning-enabled cyber-physical systems.
Key research for building trustworthy AI.

Chatbots increasingly recommend products, services or even financial advice. πŸ€–πŸ’¬

On 12 March, Nicole KrΓ€mer, Scientific Director of RC Trust, joins a policy discussion at the NRW Ministry for Consumer Protection at the event
β€œChatbot and AI Agent: (Not) a Friend and Helper?”

The panel will explore trust, transparency and risks in AI-driven communication.

πŸ€–πŸ“Š How do biases in AI systems change over time?

In a new study in Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, Meltem Aksoy (TU Dortmund University) analyzes thousands of responses generated by different versions of ChatGPT.

The results show: model updates can shift political tendencies – but recognizable patterns remain.

Together with Markus Pauly and the RC Trust, the research highlights why AI systems need continuous statistical monitoring.
