Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung

Since the release of ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears to have taken the world of higher education by storm. In order to develop sustainable visions and frameworks that can be put into practice, interdisciplinary research and collaboration is sorely needed. Therefore, the interdisciplinary ZiF-workshop “Rearticulating Autonomy. Artificial Intelligence and Digital Autonomy in Higher Education”, convened by Benjamin Paaßen (Bielefeld), Amrei Bahr (Stuttgart) and Maximilian Mayer (Bonn) aimed to consolidate and merge currently separate streams of research concerning the autonomy of learners, teachers, researchers, and higher education institutions in the age of artificial intelligence.

One outcome of this workshop was the establishment of the interdisciplinary network "Artificial Intelligence and Digital Autonomy in Research and Education" (AIDARE) which aims to support a safe and diversified AI infrastructure that supports rather than undermines digital autonomy of students, teachers, researchers, and the university as a whole.
