“I am very much looking forward to my new task here in Mannheim. Developments in the field of artificial intelligence are leading to people interacting with modern machines on a daily basis and to lasting changes in social and economic processes. I am particularly interested in introducing Mannheim students to the topics in the field of human-machine interaction and in contributing to gaining knowledge in this field through my research.” says Bauer.
Prof. Bauer's main research areas include economics of artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction, as well as game theory and digital economics.
Bachelor students can look forward to the course Machine Learning for Management Decisions from the upcoming semester.
