Newspaper articles on my research

Two recent newspaper articles have picked up on my research. The first one (https://www.diepresse.com/6194572/leistungsanreize-und-vertrauen-in-algorithmen) builds on my recent research paper on human-AI interactions, which I mention in the post below.

New paper on human-AI interaction

In a new working paper (available on my faculty page: https://www.uibk.ac.at/smt/international-management/research/), Ben Greiner (http://ben.orsee.org/), Philipp Grünwald, Georg Lintner, Martin Wiernsperger (https://www.wu.ac.at/ifu/about/ifu-team/martin-wiernsperger/), and myself explore how people interact with AI-driven decision-support systems. We specifically look into incentive structures, and differences between “pure” AI advice, and human-augmented AI advice.

The value of sustainability

I gave my first talk in a law conference last week. The conference was on sustainability in corporate law (thanks to the conference host Alexander Schopper and his team), and my contribution investigated the financial market assessment of corporate sustainability. The materials presented at the conference are available on the UIBK corporate law site (https://www.uibk.ac.at/unternehmensrecht/unternehmensrecht/nachhaltigkeit/nachhaltigkeit.html),
