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.

Abstract

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.

Original Abstract:

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).

Zielsetzung: Entwicklung einer Forschungsagenda für Human-Centered AI
