Research group “Legal and Social Consequences of Machine Decision-Making” approved by the DFG

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the interdisciplinary research group “Legal and Social Consequences of Machine Decision-Making” with €4.5 million for an initial period of four years. As part of this research group, the OWM Chair is investigating possible prerequisites for the use and acceptance of artificial intelligence in criminal proceedings in the subproject “Possibilities and Limits of Machine Decision-Making in Criminal Proceedings.” We are working closely with legal scholars Prof. Michael Heghmanns (University of Münster) and Prof. Frank Zimmermann (University of Freiburg) on this project.
