Research Projects
RAIS² brings together research projects that address the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence. Our projects combine technical innovation with legal, philosophical, and societal perspectives. This results in interdisciplinary projects that explain, regulate, and shape how digital technologies can be used responsibly.
- FAIRLEA – Fair AI Research for Law Enforcement A genciesHide
-
Investigates how AI can be used legally and ethically in law enforcement—e.g., for deanonymization in cryptocurrency systems, with particular consideration given to data protection and AI regulations at the EU and federal levels.
- FoGG – For the Greater Good? Deepfakes in der StrafverfolgungHide
-
Deals with the phenomenon of deepfakes and their regulation in criminal law: technical detection, legal admissibility, effects on the assessment of evidence, and use in covert investigations.
- EIS – Explainable Intelligent SystemsHide
-
The aim is to investigate how AI systems can be made explainable in order to enable responsible decision-making processes, trust, and traceability—taking into account legal, philosophical, and psychological perspectives.
- COIN – Copolymer Informatics: Blending digital technologies and copolymer chemistryHide
-
Joint graduate college of the Universities of Bayreuth and Jena, combining polymer chemistry with computer science and robotics. The aim is to design copolymers in a targeted manner and analyze them during processing.
