On Saturday, 22 November, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Britta Wrede contributed to the event format “Wissenshappen – When the Right Words Matter” at the Wissenswerkstadt Bielefeld as part of the Science Festival GENIALE 2025. In an impulse lecture, she presented key aspects of her research in the A03 project of the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 318 “Constructing Explainability” (TRR 318).

The TRR examines how explanations generated by AI systems can become more understandable when they are developed collaboratively and dialogically with humans. In conversations with visitors, Britta Wrede explained how explanatory processes change when emotions are taken into account. Dr. Angela Grimminger and Prof. Dr. Heike Buhl from TRR 318 introduced fundamental concepts of explanation and understanding processes and illustrated how these can be investigated scientifically. The open format offered guests the opportunity to ask questions and gain insights into current research approaches in the field of explainable AI (XAI).
