Institute for Science and Ethics (IWE, Bonn)
The IWE is a Central Research Unit of the University of Bonn and is led by its director Prof. Dr. Aimee van Wynsberghe.
Prof. Dr. van Wynsberghe introduced a new research focus to the IWE. This new focus strives to provide robust and comprehensive grounding to public policy guidelines for the green, proportionate and sustainable development and use of AI. To this end, the Sustainable AI Lab has been established within the IWE to further this line of research.
The new research pillars of the IWE are:
