Korea-Tübingen PhD Program: Project 12/2024:
PhD Project Title: Dealing with algorithms and AI in everyday life

Topic Description: Algorithms are involved in many applications and decisions, often without the awareness of the users. This project explores how dealing with algorithms in everyday life is related to algorithm awareness, algorithm literacy, and algorithm acceptance and how these concepts evolve over time. Examples for everyday life algorithm use are engaging with the TikTok algorithm or playing around with ChatGPT. The project could focus on the question whether such everyday interactions effect understanding of algorithms and self-efficacy, and whether effects spill over to algorithm acceptance in other domains. This could be tested across different cultures
