Responsible Algorithmic Decision-Making in the Workplace

About the Project: Algorithmic decision-making (or “ADM”) already has a significant impact on how our modern workplace is organized, whether it be through the selection of new hires, managing employees in their daily business, or assisting human decision-makers in the context of complex problems.

Our exploration of responsible ADM in the workplace of the future focuses on three aspects:

  • Analysing how ADM affects work procedures and work contents as well as workers’ self-determination and quality of life
  • Investigating human-machine work configurations and the responsible design of these configurations for future workplaces
  • Assessing organizational, legal and regulatory framework conditions for the responsible design of the future workplace
