Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are game-changing technologies that affect innovation and competition processes, and also the way research is conducted in the social (and other) sciences.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition are currently studying the utilization and impact of AI and ML in order to gauge their implications for society and economy. Moreover, our group actively uses Machine Learning techniques to conduct research. Furthermore, we contribute applied research results to adapt these methods to the needs of social scientists.
In order to support this work more effectively, the Department for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research at the Institute has established a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Group consisting of researchers who actively analyze or apply AI and ML. The group acts as an observatory to monitor relevant developments in AI and ML, coordinates research on AI and ML, provides resources for colleagues, and teaches the new approaches to interested doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers.
