Research

The Chair's key research focus areas include:

The research of the chair is inherently interdisciplinary as it spans across the enabling information technology, the economic value creation and the regulatory environement. At the same time, the research is of high social relevance because of the far-reaching implications of artificial intelligence and the associated fundamental transformation processes.
