The panel's goal is to create globally recognized, scientifically independent assessments, close knowledge gaps on AI, and reliably assess its impact on the economy and society. By doing so, the panel aims to provide scientific insight into risk mitigation, promote innovation for the common good, and strengthen international cooperation.
Scientifically sound foundations for the use of AI
“Artificial intelligence is changing our society at a rapid pace. To use it responsibly and identify potential risks, it is crucial that we establish a shared, scientifically sound foundation. I am looking forward to contributing my perspective. Through my research, I am working at an important interface with AI, while also complementing it with a user-centered perspective. This is a crucial factor in thoroughly assessing the social impact, risks and potential of AI," says Johanna Pirker, Professor of N-Dimensional User Experience at TUM.
Pirker's research combines various disciplines such as AI, games research, virtual and augmented reality, human-computer interaction, data analytics, and EduTech. In July 2025, Pirker was appointed to TUM. Her career has included positions at ETH Zurich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Graz University of Technology, and a research stay at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
