Data Protection Certification for Educational Information Systems (DIRECTIONS):Together with over 40 partners from research and practice, the DIRECTIONS project aims to design, implement, and evaluate a sustainable data protection certification for educational information systems. As part of the project, a quality seal will be developed and tested, with the goal of obtaining approval as a GDPR-compliant data protection certification.
Accountable Artificial Intelligence-based Systems - A Multi-Perspective Analyses: In collaboration with the Technical University of Darmstadt, this project explores Accountable AI-based Information Systems (AAIS) to ensure clear attribution of AI-driven actions. It addresses growing concerns of accountability in AAIS by identifying facets essential for effective accountability mechanisms in AAIS, analyzing stakeholder perceptions regarding accountability mechanisms in AAIS, and investigating how these mechanisms influence the behavior of AI architects and users.
