The possibilities of intelligent systems permeate our everyday lives. We encounter artificial intelligence applications in every area of our lives. The phenomenon of cybercrime is not excluded from this. Criminals use such applications to commit new types of “old” crimes. The grandchild trick is becoming increasingly technical and uses many AI components: from voicebots and deepfakes to ChatGPT and the like. 

Dirk Labudde uses various examples to explain how intelligent systems affect crime and therefore the role of victims and perpetrators. Can we simply trust our senses, for example, in our digital communication? If adults already have difficulties distinguishing between reality and fiction, how must children and adolescents feel? What can IT security and IT forensics do together to combat cybercrime phenomena?  

Dirk Labudde has been Professor of Bioinformatics at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences since 2009 and founded Germany's first Bachelor's degree program in “General and Digital Forensics” in 2014, to which he was appointed professor in the same year. At Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, Dirk Labudde heads the FoSIL (Forensic Science Investigation Lab) research group, which deals with forensic issues. One research focus is the semantic analysis of forensic texts, images and videos. Since 2017, he has also been head of the Cyber Security Learning Lab at the Fraunhofer Academy and group leader at SIT Darmstadt. 

An event in the Data Tuesday series, which has been running since 2015. The event series is organized in cooperation with the Nuremberg Museum of Communication, the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA) and the Professional Association of Data Protection Officers in Germany (BvD). 

The lecture will be held in German.
