Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel has been teaching information ethics, AI ethics, robot ethics, and machine ethics at the FHNW for around 15 years. He is responsible for the “Ethik und Technologiefolgenabschätzung” (“Ethics and Technology Assessment”) module in the new Business AI degree program at the FHNW School of Business in Olten. Here, the focus is on AI ethics, but students will also learn about robot ethics and machine ethics approaches – including annotated decision trees and moral prompt engineering. And they will use information ethics, including data ethics, to analyze and evaluate the origins and flows of data and information and engage in bias discussions. Last but not least, they will delve into technology assessment. Oliver Bendel also teaches the “Ethik und Recht” (“Ethics and Law”) module in the Business Information Systems degree program at the FHNW School of Business in Olten (which he took over in 2010 as “Informatik, Ethik und Gesellschaft”, later renamed “Informationsethik”), the “Recht und Ethik” (“Law and Ethics”) module in the Geomatics degree program at the FHNW School of Architecture, Construction and Geomatics in Muttenz, and “Ethisches Reflektieren” (“Ethical Reflecting”) and “Ethisches Implementieren” (“Ethical Implementing”) in the Data Science degree program at the FHNW School of Engineering in Brugg-Windisch. His elective modules on social robotics are very popular (Photo: Pati Grabowicz).
