CompPhil²MMAE cooperates with alumnus Peter Königs and Christian Neuhäuser from TU Dortmund University in a research project funded by the DFG. In three sub-projects, we are investigating the question of how modern practices of state mass surveillance in liberal societies are to be ethically evaluated – with regard to (a) the monitored individual, (b) the democratic society in which surveillance takes place, and (c) the technology companies that participate in state surveillance.
CompPhil²MMAE is involved in a scientific network on “Methods of Practical Ethics” funded by the DFG. The network will investigate moral philosophical methods in applied ethical contexts (such as AI, data protection, climate change, etc.) and reflect on the role of ethicists in the corresponding public discourses.
