Call for Abstracts

“AI for decision support: What are possible futures, social impacts, regulatory options, ethical conundrums and agency constellations?”

Deadline for your abstract: 02.05.2023

This call advertises for the interdisciplinary TATuP Special Topic in issue 1/2024. Please read the complete CfA here online.

Guest editors of this TATuP Special Topic:

Diana Schneider (Fraunhofer-Institut für System- und Innovationsforschung ISI, Competence Center Neue Technologien)
Karsten Weber (OTH Regensburg, Institute for Social Research and Technology Assessment)

The contributions to the Special Topic should primarily focus on those application areas where human interactions are challenged by the deployment of AI-based decision support systems (e.g., in health and social care, public administration, law enforcement, or transportation and logistics); references to existing AI-based decision support systems, implementation into their system, clients and users are welcome. Contributions to the Special Topic should address at least two of these four topics:

· Possible futures: How and to what extent might AI systems be used for decision support in the future? Has the view of their use in specific application areas changed and, if so, what can be concluded from this for the future and the discourse on AI systems for decision making?

· Social impacts: What social impacts will AI decision support systems have? To what extent are different stakeholders affected by decisions made by AI systems?

· Regulatory options: What are the specific challenges related to the regulation of AI for decision making? What (new) challenges arise when AI is used to support decision making? Do new actors come into play? What are the implications for the design of the science-policy interface?

· Ethical conundrums and agency constellations: What is the relationship between the common good and individual rights, the relationship between evidence and individual cases, when it comes to the use of AI systems in decision making? To what extent can social and human agency be prevented from being ignored?
