Public Interest AI
The use of artificial intelligence for the public interest is repeatedly formulated as a central goal in political AI strategies, guidelines and government funding measures, as well as in projects from commercial enterprises. However, it is still unclear whether and, above all, how the public interest orientation of AI applications can be realised and how it can be checked. The “Public Interest AI” research group is therefore developing an operationalisable analysis procedure that will allow Public Interest to be defined in an AI-specific way and tested in technical prototypes. With this practice-oriented research approach, the research group is developing an exemplary catalog of requirements for assessing to what extent socially oriented AI projects serve the public interest. As a result, this can function both as an important contribution to the discourse on AI development in Europe and as practical implementation guidelines for AI developers.
PhD projects
In three PhD projects, different aspects of the concept of AI for social good are being studied.
The first PhD project focuses on processes for the validation of public AI systems by public actors and related deliberative design processes. The format of design patterns is central to the project, which makes it possible to capture and make available transferable patterns for public good-oriented AI applications. Qualitative case studies will be conducted to shape the content of the design patterns.
The second project investigates the role of fact-checks in public discourse and how they can be supported by computer-based methods. To this end, a theoretical framework on claims that potentially contain disinformation and a machine learning model that automatically classifies these types of claims will be developed. In addition, it is planned to empirically investigate the reception and impact of fact checks.
The third PhD project deals with the automated simplification of German-language texts. Besides the purely scientific impact, the aim of the project is to minimise the exclusion factor for less literate citizens. The focus of the technical work is on individual sub-components that should contribute to the goal of full automation. The first sub-component in the project relates to the relationship between summaries and simplifications.

There is a lack of insights into AI projects in the public interest. Our new interactive world map helps to promote research on such initiatives, demonstrate their self-understanding and provide publicly available data.
New Open Talk Format
In our "Open Talk" series, we invite experts from the field of public good-oriented AI. With their different perspectives from research and practice, they help us to develop holistic answers on the use of artificial intelligence for the public interest.
