Themen für Abschlussarbeiten

I am open for various topics, at the intersection between technology, organizations and individuals. Below some fields I am particularly interested in. However, if you have another topic in mind, do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your topic. Use Calendly (öffnet neues Fenster) to arrange a meeting.

    AI and creativity

    • What is the role of AI in creative processes?
    • How does AI relate to core values of creatives?
    • How does AI impact the multiple identities of creatives, and how do these impact the use of AI? 

    AI and behavioral change

    • How can conversational agents be used to motivate behavioral change (e.g.,  healthier or more sustainable behavior)?
    • How do interactions with conversational agents impact emotional regulation (e.g., stress, happiness, etc.)?
    • How can conversational agents help people coping with loneliness?

    AI and decision-making

    Algorithm aversion: Individuals’ reactions of individuals to decisions made by AI (favorable vs. unfavorable decisions)

    • How do individuals perceive AI-based performance evaluation?
    • How can algorithm aversion be overcome?
    • What determines perceptions of fairness of AI-decision making of individuals (e.g., employees, customers)?

    The influence of ethical AI on decision-making

    • How can ethical AI be defined? What are use-cases for ethical AI?
    • Who do individuals react when they perceive an AI ethical compared to when not?
      (E.g., does an AI that exposes ethical principles impact algorithm aversion?)
    • What types of explanations make the decision process more transparent and understandable? 
    • How can explanations be communicated to users such that they improve the user’s trust and improves human-AI collaboration (i.e., efficiency)?

    Paradoxes in AI implementation and use

    • What are specific paradoxes related to AI and use?
    • How do organizations deal with the paradoxes of implementing AI?

    Human-AI collaboration (hybrid intelligence)

    • How must AI systems be designed to work in synergy with humans?

    • How can these systems learn from and adapt to humans and their environment?

    • How can we ensure that they behave ethically and responsibly?

    • What are the specific challenges and benefits of human-AI collaboration, given the complementarity of their skills and abilities?

    • How can human-AI collaboration be used to improve learning systems (e.g., communicating intent and giving feedback) or staffing systems (who to staff on which project)?

    The interplay of IT and OT (production IT):

    • Developing and testing an ontology for IT and OT (characteristics of the technology, implementation, and management approaches) to better understand those two knowledge regimes.
    • How do (industrial) LCDP foster the interplay of IT and OT?
    • Literature review on cyber-resilience regarding OT to provide a synthesis of the existing knowledge on how to increase cyber-resilience
    • Literature review on different approaches to run/operate OT to develop an OT operating model
