Interdisciplinary Reading Group “Deep Learning”

Initiated by the Quantitative Economics Division we have instituted a bi-weekly exchange of thoughts and ideas between researchers from the Departments of Economics and Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity.

3.1. Secure money – Who sees our payments and how they use them

Digital payments have long been part of everyday life—whether we pay by card, cell phone, or PayPal. But every time we make a payment, we leave behind data tracks. In this opening episode of the season “Secure Money” we ask: Who actually sees this data? Why is payment data so much more sensitive than other data tracks? And how is it used, in particular by the current players in the payment market? Is a vague unease or indifference justified – because proper knowledge about what happens in the background is no given.

Vertrauen im digitalen Wandel: Eindrücke von der bidt Konferenz 2025

In ihrer Eröffnung der „bidt Konferenz“ 2025 machte die bidt-Direktorin Professorin Hannah Schmid-Petri deutlich, wie sich in der Nutzung von KI-Systemen sowohl Abhängigkeit als auch Vertrauen zeigen können: Frage man zum Beispiel ChatGPT nach aktuellen Nachrichten, sei man abhängig von der Information zu einem Ereignis, das man meist nicht selbst erlebt hat. Zudem sei es in der Regel schwer nachvollziehbar oder kontrollierbar, was in dem KI-System abläuft – zugleich bestehe jedoch der Wunsch, dem Ergebnis vertrauen zu können.

Innere Uhr im Minimalformat

Fast alle Lebewesen besitzen eine innere Uhr, die es ihnen ermöglicht, ihr Verhalten und ihre Körperfunktionen an den natürlichen Rhythmus von Tag und Nacht anzupassen. Dieser sogenannte circadiane Rhythmus wird von einem komplexen Netzwerk aus spezialisierten Nervenzellen gesteuert. Bei der Fruchtfliege, einem zentralen Modellorganismus für die Chronobiologie, besteht dieses Uhrennetzwerk aus etwa 240 Neuronen.
