Coding Public Value: Public Service Media and Software for the Common Good | The project Coding Public Value focuses on the development and evaluation of methods for responsible software engineering for the common good and corresponding institutional, political and organizational frameworks for public-service media platforms. How can legal, political and user-oriented requirements of public media be translated into requirements, methods and quality assessment practices for the engineering of software and which institutional, political, and organizational requirements have to be implemented in order to operate public service media platforms on the foundation of such public service-oriented software engineering? The project combines Science & Technology Studies, Media and Communication Research, Legal Studies, and empirical Software Engineering in an interdisciplinary collaboration. |

Mapping Digitization in Highly Regulated Spaces | In highly regulated sectors the impact of AI is very profound. Ethical dilemmas and legal questions make the digitization in fields such as healthcare and the legal domain the center of interdisciplinary questions. Students that will end up working in these fields should be prepared to answer questions that fall outside the traditional boundaries of Master programs. In this Plug-in module, students will work in interdisciplinary teams to understand how AI is used in the healthcare and legal domain and what legal and ethical implications it has and can have in the future. Through different digital media platforms, students will share their findings with their fellow students but also with people outside the university community. |

Legal reflection in situations of consulting on technological development (RechTech) | Digital technologies are constantly becoming a bigger part of our everyday life and are shaping our lives and how we live together. Legal advice often plays an important and perhaps still underestimated role when shaping these technologies. The project will shed light on the question whether law can be made fruitful as a design resource. |
