This is the homepage of the research group Ethics in Information Technology at the Department of Informatics at University of Hamburg. Our team researches the ethical, legal, social and political implications of contemporary information technologies and big data practices.

Here you can learn more about our research group and interdisciplinary team, the research, and teaching we do within and beyond the department of informatics and find latest news about activities from members of the research group.

"Taming the Machines" is taking a summer break. If you missed our awesome lectures or would like to recap, just stream the talks on Universität Hamburg's video platform Lecture2Go.

In winter term, we will continue our lecture series, then with a focus on "Information Technology for a Good Society". See here for our Programme Winter 19/20.

Under "Bits and Pieces" we share reads, podcasts or videos which we find interesting. Please note that the viewpoints expressed in the shared content do not represent the position of the Ethics in Information Technology working group, any of its members, nor of the University of Hamburg.
