Conferences
Conference „Rechtsdidaktik in der Krise“
Our team members Sarah Großkopf, Christian Braun and Simon Alexander Nonn presented the Project DeepWrite on 16th and 17th of November 2023 at the conference "Rechtsdidaktik in der Krise?!" (legal didactics in times of crises) in Salzburg, Austria. Titled "Argumentieren als juristische Kernkompetenz im Zeitalter von KI?" (Argumentation as a core legal competence in the age of AI), the presentation focused on legal prompt engineering and the (automatic) structuring of case solutions. Furthermore, the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into university education were addressed and an outlook was given. In addition, the possibility of training an AI model that is specifically tailored to the needs of the German legal system and to the “Gutachtenstil”, the argumentation style used in legal training in Germany, was discussed.
GfeW annual meeting in Erfurt
Prof. Johann Graf Lambsdorff presented first results of the DeepWrite-Study "Can GPT-4 Replace Humans? A Competition on Ranking Open-Text Answers" at the annual meeting of the Gesellschaft für experimentelle Wirtschaftsforschung (GfeW e.V.) from 20 to 22 September of 2023 in Erfurt. In this study, the DeepWrite team investigates the reliability of GPT-4 in ranking student answers to open-text questions in macroeconomics compared to human evaluations. The findings are not only of interest to academia, but have important implications for the (further) development of DeepWrite applications and the progress of the project. GfeW is the world's oldest association of experimental economists.
Learning AID Bochum
Our team members Sarah Großkopf, Christian Braun and Simon Alexander Nonn visited Learning AID in Bochum on August 28 and 29 of 2023. Together with the project sponsor VDI/VDE-IT and another project from the federal-state initiative "AI in Higher Education", KI-Rollout, a joint workshop was offered on Tuesday, which focused on the opportunities and challenges of (Chat)GPT. In the final discussion round, other projects also participated and topics such as prompt engineering and Germany's role in AI development were explored in depth.
EARLI Thessaloniki
Stephan Geschwind and Deborah Voß returned from Thessaloniki with a lot of positive feedback and ideas. There they represented the DeepWrite project at the EARLI conference from August 22 to 26 and presented the ArgueNiser in an ICT demonstration. The theme of the conference, which celebrated its 20th edition this year, was "Education as Hope in uncertain Times." Educational researchers from over 60 countries participated. In addition to exchanging ideas with other researchers in the field of AI in higher education, the main focus for our team members was to gather feedback for the ArgueNiser. The tool is designed to help students learn argumentation structures relevant to their discipline. It will be tested in lectures for the first time in the upcoming semester.
23rd German Judges' and Prosecutors' Day
Our student assistants Walter Doyle and Alberto Mader attended the 23rd German Judges' and Prosecutors' Day in Weimar from March 29 to 31, 2023, which focused on digitization and the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the judiciary under the title "Programmed Law - Absolute Justice?". In particular, the event focused on Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the judicial system.
Panel discussion - ChatGPT in Legal Teaching
On March 21 of 2023, Dr. Martin Zwickel from the FAU Erlangen hosted a panel discussion on "ChatGPT in Legal Teaching - effects and application scenarios", in which Prof. Dr. Urs Kramer participated. The discussion was about the impact of AI language models on legal didactics and legal education.
