100 +* Ethics: The topic of ethics deals with AI developments and their significance for ErUM researchers. The aim here is to compile concrete AI developments and to identify probable development possibilities.
101 +** How will it be possible to realize predominantly human-performed research activities with the support of AI tools in the future?
