What Happens When Design Meets Decision-Making? Reflections on Gender, Diversity & AI at KIT!

We’ve just wrapped up the third annual Gender in Adaptive Design workshop at KIT, and once again, it sparked powerful conversations at the intersection of technology, behavior, and society. From challenging assumptions to opening up new ways of thinking, we explored how gender, diversity, and AI intersect, grounded in perspectives from behavioral economics and information systems.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us – your energy, openness, and insights made this workshop truly special. Special appreciation goes to our keynote speaker, Brice Corgnet, whose talk “In Bot We Trust: Should We Let Machines Make Critical Decisions?” sparked deep discussion and fresh research ideas. And heartfelt thanks to Brice Corgnet and Zahra Murad for generously sharing their journeys across academic systems in different countries, offering invaluable insights for our young researchers just beginning theirs.

The Gender in Adaptive Design workshop continues to grow as a platform for critical, thoughtful, and collaborative engagement. Here’s to building more inclusive, reflective environments: together.
