    Trust in Digital Media

    With CleanFeed, we explore how trust in digital media can be preserved in the age of AI generated and manipulated content. Images, videos and texts can now be altered or synthesized with little effort, often in ways that make their origin and authenticity difficult to assess for users. CleanFeed addresses this challenge by making the origin, processing and trustworthiness of digital media transparent and verifiable across the entire media chain – from capture to distribution. In doing so, the project contributes to strengthening trust, informed decision making and democratic processes in the digital public sphere.

    In the HYKIST project, a real-time-based AI speech assistance system for basic and emergency medicine is being developed as a pilot. The AI-supported communication is intended to facilitate conversations with medical professionals for people who have only limited German skills. Thanks to automatic speech recognition, machine translation and linkage to a teleconferencing platform, the supervising interpreters are supported in conveying complex medical issues in a user-friendly way.

    Although solutions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have gained importance in many economic sectors, they cannot be used in aviation, as they cannot be certified yet. The KIEZ 4.0 project will examine and formulate the technical, the ethical and legal requirements and implications for the use of artificial intelligence in aviation and lay the groundwork for certification approaches.
