Course Contents
The majority of business models in the digital economy heavily rely on the existence of user data in order to enable a value proposition for users. For instance, advertisers use data for the targeting of advertisements whereas others apply it for the personalisation of their service offerings. However, what is beneficial for businesses often becomes of a threat to the privacy of users – especially if highly sensitive data, such as location data, is collected and processed without their consent. Within the digital economy field, this course is going to explore the area of conflict between data-centric business models and user privacy. Since mobile devices accumulate a significant amount of personal data about individuals, the following topics will be covered and examined with a special focus from this „mobile“ perspective:
-
-
-
- Digital data-driven business models
- Means of data collection and its threat to privacy
- Privacy and Data Protection
- Basics of Information Security
- Interplay between data and privacy within digital business models
-

The 2nd part of this lecture series (Mobile Business II) focuses on the variety of opportunities and challenges, that are offered by mobile communication technologies and their specific properties and which need to be considered and addressed by companies and regulators. The overall objective of the course is to provide advanced knowledge about mobile applications and mobile services, ranging from technical to economic aspects. Students will be qualified to pro-actively realise inherent commercial potential and to identify and to address challenges and problems in the area of mobile business. An important facet of this is the discussion of international regulation and its implications on the development and application scenarios for mobile services.
Architectures for mobile services and their development are in the focus of the first part of the course. This includes topics such as security and privacy, usability, and the role of standardisation. The presentation of exemplary application areas will allow students to understand and question how different design aspects are considered in current scenarios. The course concludes with a state of the art overview of current mobile business research topics and activities, enabling students to understand the lines of research and to draw connections to already existing mobile business applications and scenarios.

Content of the Course
Description: Learning Goals and Competencies
-
- Obtain a basic understanding of the working mechanisms of LLMs.
- Being able to critically reflect working with LLMs.
- Critically reflect ethical dimensions of LLMs as well as potential issues with regard to e.g., privacy and safety.
- Working and presenting results in a group environment.
Description of the course:
Nowadays, everybody has heard of ChatGPT and many students will certainly have tried to use it, or similar large language models (LLMs) by now for their studies. In this seminar, we will take a closer look on the capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) and such LLMs to foster a greater understanding on the subject.
The objective of this seminar is therefore twofold: To study LLMs from an academic perspective by also working with them.
Students are encouraged to already come up with their own ideas for possible seminar papers and presentations on the subject.
A list of possible topics will also be available on m-chair.de/teaching.
Topics of interest include:
-
-
- A systematic academic literature review on LLMs
- A discussion on ethical and social implications of LLMs and AI
- A discussion on security and privacy concerns with regard to LLMs and AI
- An analysis on the influence of ChatGPT in different contexts (work environment, school, university)
- A case study on capabilities and limitations of LLMs across different industries/ business domains
-
