Cover of the book: "Verantwortungsvolle Einbindung von KI-Assistenzsystemen am Arbeitsplatz".

Following a participatory RRI research approach to technology development, workers' representatives got to know AI assistance systems better in workshops and explored possible risks and potentials of the technologies. The central focus was on ethical considerations (e.g. questions about data protection) and aspects of equal opportunities (e.g. inclusion through assistance systems) and was oriented towards the concrete needs of workers. The project results were summarised in a handbook with concrete recommendations for workers' (representative) bodies, decision-makers in companies and technology developers.
