Research at IRIS

The interdisciplinary, cross-faculty research at IRIS focuses on changes in the world of work, education, and society triggered by the increasing presence of intelligent systems. In a range of research projects, IRIS members are investigating, for example, potential influences on political opinion formation, the division of labor in safety-critical contexts, usage dynamics in organizations, diversity-sensitive education, literary narratives, digital health enhancement, and ethical modeling. IRIS is connected to the Participation and Deliberation Labs (ZIRIUS) and the Platform for Reflection and Outrech (EXC SimTech).

  • Funding: IRIS is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Research Council of the University of Stuttgart.
  • DFG reference number: (UP 31/1)
  • Project duration: 2019 - 2025

Reflecting Intelligent Systems for Diversity, Demography, and Democracy (IRIS3D), started January 2023 with three new Research Groups funded by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of the State of Baden-Württemberg (Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg)

These research groups are working to develop and carry out new research programs that contribute to the reflection on the societal impacts of intelligent systems related to the theme of the project.
