Künstliche Intelligenz und Machine Learning sind hochaktuelle Themen in der Informatik. Fortschrittliche Technologien und Vorgehensweisen schaffen neue Einsatzfelder für Anwendungen, die Verhaltensweisen des Menschen erlernen und nachahmen. Dieses innovative Vorgehen birgt jedoch einige Gefahren. Das menschliche Verhalten ist nicht immer objektiv und korrekt. Oft beherrschen Vorurteile das Treffen menschlicher Entscheidungen, sodass Personen diskriminiert werden. Es besteht das Risiko, dass Maschinen diese Verhaltensweise übernehmen.
Hinzu kommt die fehlende Erklärbarkeit der Algorithmen. Je nach Modell ist nicht eindeutig, nach welchen Prinzipien eine Entscheidung getroffen wird. Das erschwert das Aufdecken von Diskriminierung und senkt die Vertrauenswürdigkeit des Systems.
In dieser Arbeit werden Ursachen für Diskriminierung und fehlende Transparenz, sowie Lösungsmethoden erarbeitet. Dabei wird erörtert, inwieweit die beiden Themen aufeinander einspielen und gemeinsam zur Qualität der Software beitragen.
Music listening has become a highly individualized activity with smartphones and music streaming services providing listeners with absolute freedom to listen to any kind of music in any situation. Until now, little has been written about the processes underlying the selection of music in daily life. The present study aimed to disentangle some of the complex processes among the listener, situation, and functions of music listening involved in music selection. Utilizing the experience sampling method, data were collected from 119 participants using a smartphone application. For 10 consecutive days, participants received 14 prompts using stratified-random sampling throughout the day and reported on their music-listening behavior. Statistical learning procedures on multilevel regression models and multilevel structural equation modeling were used to determine the most important predictors and analyze mediation processes between person, situation, functions of listening, and music selection. Results revealed that the features of music selected in daily life were predominantly determined by situational characteristics, whereas consistent individual differences were of minor importance. Functions of music listening were found to act as a mediator between characteristics of the situation and music-selection behavior. We further observed several significant random effects, which indicated that individuals differed in how situational variables affected their music selection behavior. Our findings suggest a need to shift the focus of music-listening research from individual differences to situational influences, including potential person-situation interactions.
