In transregio 318, the universities of Bielefeld and Paderborn are conducting research on artificial intelligence (AI) in order to improve interactions between people and AI and make socio-technical systems and their algorithms more easily comprehensible.
The collaborative research centre 1646 aims to undertake a systematic investigation of linguistic creativity as a vital feature of speakers' linguistic competence. Their projects aim to shed light on the properties, limits, benefits of linguistic creativity and the interplay of these different aspects including their theoretical modelling.
Intelligent Systems and Inclusive AI in a Socio-Technical World
Intelligent systems and inclusive AI at the interfaces of technology, medicine and society
This research area focuses on skills and mechanisms that enable humans, robots and AI systems to act, communicate and learn alone or together in complex social environments. The focus is on interactive intelligent systems and inclusive AI systems that promote participation, self-determination and social integration. The research focus is supported by close interdisciplinary collaboration between computer science, medicine, psychology, linguistics and sports science. Alongside the Centre for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC), the Medical School OWL plays a key role in shaping the field by combining AI research, assistance systems and medical care research.
With the participation of the University Medical Center OWL and in close cooperation with the von Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel and with national and international partners from industry and practice, technological innovations are responsibly transferred into social application contexts.
