ABOUT THE EVENT
AI is a trully challenge for the industry? Will it be temporary?
Prof. Alexander Boden and Veronika Krauß, University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, explore challenges imposed by emerging technology. AR and AI bear many unknowns regarding their opportunities and their impact on society and the individual
How this will affect us?
In this session you will get insights into challenges imposed by emerging technology that operates on data collection and interpretation through the lens of consumer protection.

WHO IS THE SPEAKER
Prof. Alexander Boden
Director of the Institute for Consumer Informatics at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Science. He studied cultural anthropology/ethnology at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. After graduating in 2005, he completed his doctorate in business information systems at the University of Siegen in 2011, and received his habilitation in 2019. His dissertation was awarded the study prize of the Siegen-Wittgenstein district in 2012. Research visits led him to the Universities of Victoria/Canada, Lancaster/UK, and to Tomsk/Siberia. Since 2013, Alexander Boden has been a project manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) in the field of user centered design. His research interests are digital consumption and consumer protection, as well as sustainable and ethical innovation.
Veronika Krauß
Research fellow and lecturer at the Institute for Consumer Informatics at University of Siegen and the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. Her work focuses on interaction design and design practices beyond the desktop – specifically augmented and virtual reality. She graduated from Bauhaus-University Weimar in 2016 and has worked at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) as a user-centered designer. Her ongoing PhD investigates XR interaction design and prototyping practices in industry. Further, as a visiting researcher at the University of Michigan – School of Information, she researched technology acceptance and (un-)ethical design for XR with a focus on dark patterns. Her work was published at top-tier conferences for HCI and augmented/virtual reality.
