Societal Implications and Ethical Aspects of AI

Trust and acceptance in new technologies are a basic prerequisite for the success of innovative mobility applications. In the topic area "Ethics - Acceptance - Technology Impacts", the following aspects in particular are to be made usable for technology development, taking into account the requirements for "Trustworthy AI" formulated by the EU Commission's High-Level Expert Group on AI: Mathematical foundations and models of human-friendly programming of AI algorithms; ethical conditions; social effects and issues of governance and regulation in the use of AI; interdependencies at the interface between humans and AI; citizen participation.

The aim is to actively involve citizens in the development, testing and introduction of AI-based autonomous mobility from the outset in order to promote social acceptance. In addition, complex issues relating to the acceptance of AI decisions are to be addressed in interdisciplinary teams.
