Die Universität Bayreuth bietet eine neue Veranstaltungsreihe an: die Bayreuth Lectures. Sie ist Teil des neuen Konzepts des Studium Generale und richtet sich sowohl an Studierende als auch an die gesamte Hochschulöffentlichkeit. Die Bayreuth Lectures fokussieren aktuelle wissenschaftliche Themen aus den Bereichen Nachhaltigkeit, Wissenschaftstheorie, Digitale Welt, Gender & Diversity sowie Entrepreneurship & Innovation. Die Referentinnen und Referenten kommen auf Einladung von Bayreuther Forschenden an die Uni Bayreuth.
Kommende Termine
Montag, 20.01.2025: 18 bis 20 Uhr | Ort: Uni Bayreuth, Hörsaal 15, NW I (zum Campusplan)
Die Lecture findet in englischer Sprache statt, die anschließende Diskussion kann aber gerne auch auf Deutsch geführt werden.
"Challenges and Opportunities in Human-AI Collaboration"
Jakob Schoeffer is an incoming assistant professor of responsible and explainable AI at the University of Groningen, Netherlands. His research focuses on how artificial intelligence can—and cannot—help humans make better and fairer decisions.
Human-AI collaboration seeks to combine the unique strengths of both humans and artificial intelligence, while mitigating their individual limitations. Typically, this involves AI systems providing decision recommendations, with humans retaining the ability to override them. A central goal is to ensure appropriate reliance, meaning that humans should only override AI recommendations when they are incorrect. However, existing research indicates that achieving this is difficult. In this talk, I will share findings from a large study on the effectiveness of popular explainable AI techniques designed to foster appropriate reliance. I will show that, in some cases, explainable AI can unintentionally influence human decision-making in ways that hinder appropriate reliance. Drawing from these results, I will discuss the current challenges in human-AI collaboration and explore potential strategies to address them.
