Research area: Economy and Labour

Humanoid robots, artificial intelligence and upheaval in the automotive industry: in several media articles, Professor Sabine Pfeiffer, Chair of the bidt Board of Directors, analyses changes in the world of work.

In her Munich AI Signature Lecture “A Cryptographic Perspective on Machine Learning Trustworthiness Challenges,” Goldwasser describes how cryptographic methods can contribute to trustworthy machine learning.

Digital transformation is changing the conditions for employee participation. The project examines how direct participation and institutionalised co-determination interact in the context of digital transformation.

With three new research projects, the bidt is strengthening its Economy and Labour research area. The projects focus on AI in organisations, the digital labour market, and the transformation of public-sector organisations.

The project explores how public-sector organisations can successfully manage digital transformation. It develops context-sensitive governance approaches tailored to their legal, institutional and organisational conditions.

The project examines how AI is transforming software development and programming in IT and engineering. Based on qualitative and standardised surveys, it analyses the use of AI tools and their impact.

The project is developing a data-driven monitoring system for the digital workplace in Bavaria. The results will be made available to policymakers, academics and the general public via an interactive dashboard.
