Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, DALL-E and Udio are driving the creative industry. Can the models underlying these tools be trained with copyrighted material? Should the authors be compensated for this?

Who is liable if AI-generated content infringes copyright? And is there copyright for AI-generated content? The presentation provides an overview of the current copyright discussions surrounding generative AI and highlights possible solutions.

When we take medication, less than 1% of the active ingredient reaches the actual site of the disease, which is why it affects the entire body – we are all familiar with the enormous side effects of chemotherapy, for example. That is why it is very important to deliver drugs directly to the site of action, where they then only have a local effect. To this end, I am developing tiny micro-robots loaded with drugs that can be guided through blood vessels to a tumour, inflammation or vascular constriction, for example. The micro-robots are precisely controlled by magnetic fields. But what exactly are magnetic micro- and nanorobots? What do they look like? How are they manufactured? How are they controlled? And what can they be used for?

In this lecture, I will present the main areas of research of the new professorship for ‘Biometrics, Human Analysis and Behaviour Understanding’. The focus is on how human-centred approaches can be designed in machine learning to make digital services more secure, inclusive, transparent and user-friendly – while ensuring privacy and acceptance among citizens.
