The professorship presented its research to the public at the Tag der Offenen Tür in the Winter Semester 2023/2024. We offered insights by showing several demonstrators which visitors could also try out on their own.

Today and yesterday, we participated in the CONVERSATIONS '23 Workshop in Oslo which connects researchers around the world who work on Chatbot and Conversational Agents. At the workshop we presented our paper "In Search of Dark Patterns in Chatbots". It is written together with colleagues from Lifia at Universidad Nacional de la Plata and offers new insights into the existence of Dark Patterns in customer service chatbots. The presentation is accessible here.

Further information and the paper preprint are available on the workshop homepage.
