Offered Subjects

Focus on students of Business Informatics

Unfortunately, due to the high requests for our topics we have a high occupancy rate (see theses in process). Especially if we don't pro-actively publish offered subjects for theses, we need to focus on students of the business informatic degrees, in order to still gurantee adequate supervision. For students of other degree programs we recommend to contact professors of their own degree program in order to find a suitable tutor for their thesis.

  • Human-AI-Collaboration - What we know and what we miss (Original Title: Human-AI-Collaboration - What we know and what we miss) Details

    The utilization of current AI systems is akin to using a tool in most cases. Here, the focus often lies on cooperation, i.e., employing specific abilities for individual goal achievement. However, to fully harness the potential of AI, a shift towards collaboration between humans and machines is necessary. This thesis precisely addresses this realm.

    Research Questions:

    • RQ1: What are the main themes and genres of IS research in the field of Human-Centered AI?
    • RQ2: What aspects of IS research in Human-Centered AI remain overlooked?

    Approach: Systematic literature review of top journals (Basket of Eight) and conferences (ICIS, ECIS, PACIS, AMCIS, HICSS).

    Objective: Development of a research agenda for Human-AI Collaboration


    Die Nutzung heutiger KI-Systeme ist in den meisten Fällen mit der Verwendung eines Werkzeugs zu vergleichen. Dabei steht oft die Kooperation, also die Nutzung spezieller Fähigkeiten zur eigenen Zielerreichung, im Vordergrund. Um jedoch das volle Potenzial von KI ausschöpfen zu können, ist eine Verlagerung hin zur Kollaboration zwischen Mensch und Maschine notwendig. Die Abschlussarbeit behandelt genau dieses Themenfeld.

    Forschungsfragen:

    • RQ1: Was sind die Hauptthemen und Genres der IS-Forschung im Bereich Human-AI-Collaboration?
    • RQ2: Welche Aspekte der IS-Forschung im Bereich Human-AI-Collaboration bleiben unbeachtet?

    Methodisches Vorgehen: Systematische Literaturrecherche in führenden Fachzeitschriften (Basket of Eight) und auf Konferenzen (ICIS, ECIS, PACIS, AMCIS, HICSS).

    Zielsetzung: Entwicklung einer Forschungsagenda für die Kollaboration von Mensch und KI

  • Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence - Defining Pathways for the Next Genation of AI (Original Title: Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence - Chancen und Risiken der nächsten KI-Generation) Details

    Artificial intelligence is indispensable in our lives today. Current AI approaches primarily focus on transferring human capabilities to machines. The Human-Centered AI approach prioritizes humans and aims to enhance their abilities through the possibilities offered by AI.

    Research Questions:

    RQ1: What are the main themes and genres of IS research on Human-Centered AI?
    RQ2: What are the blind spots in IS research on Human-Centered AI?

    Approach: Systematic literature review of top journals (Basket of Eight) and conferences (ICIS, ECIS, PACIS, AMCIS, HICSS).

    Objective: Developing a research agenda for Human-Centered AI.


    Künstliche Intelligenz ist aus unserem heutigen Leben nicht mehr wegzudenken. Aktuelle KI-Ansätze fokussieren hierbei primär menschliche Fähigkeiten auf Maschinen zu übertragen. Der Human-Centered AI-Ansatz stellt den Menschen in den Vordergrund und versucht dessen Fähigkeiten durch die Möglichkeiten der KI zu augmentieren.

    Forschungsfragen:

    • RQ1: Was sind die Hauptthemen und Genres der IS-Forschung im Bereich Human-Centered AI?
    • RQ2: Welche sind die unberücksichtigten Aspekte der IS-Forschung im Bereich Human-Centered AI?

    Vorgehen: Systematische Literaturrecherche in führenden Fachzeitschriften (z.B. AIS Senior Scholars' List of Premier Journals) und Konferenzen (z.B. ICIS, ECIS, PACIS, AMCIS, HICSS).
