\n\t\tThe fellows of our virtual research clinic introduce themselves\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

How can we best avoid harmful societal consequences of seemingly well-intentioned targeted advertising strategies? Do we need less targeted systems for ad deliveries or ones that grant their target groups a meaningful choice regarding the kinds of job ads they are interested in? Might there even be a case to be made that targeted advertising should be stopped altogether?<\/p>\n

These are just some of the questions we would will tackle together in our virtual clinic on “Increasing Fairness in Targeted Advertising: The Risk of Gender Stereotyping by Job Ad Algorithms”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our research fellows will explore a key challenge of online communication spaces: who gets to see what – and who decides why.<\/p>\n

About the research project<\/h3>\n

The virtual clinic is part of the\u00a0NoC<\/a>\u00a0research project\u00a0“The Ethics of Digitalisation – From Principles to Practices”<\/a>, which aims to develop viable answers to challenges at the intersection of ethics and digitalisation. Innovative formats facilitate interdisciplinary scientific work on application-, and practice-oriented questions and achieve outputs of high social relevance and impact. Our first research sprint on\u00a0algorithmic tools for content moderation<\/a>\u00a0has just successfully concluded. The project promotes an active exchange between science, politics and society and thus contributes to a global dialogue on the ethics of digitalisation.<\/p>\n

Besides the HIIG, the main project partners are the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University, the Digital Asia Hub, and the Leibniz Institute\u00a0for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut.<\/p>\n

The project stands under the patronage of the Federal President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and is funded by the Mercator Foundation.<\/p>\n
