wahl.chat: A student-created AI tool supports voting decisions

Technology for Democracy

With only a few days to go until the Bundestag elections, it’s high time to determine who to vote for. Which party shares my values? Who pursues which policy goals? But also: How realistic is their implementation, and what consequences would it have? With wahl.chat, five students from TUM, LMU, and the University of Cambridge have created an AI-based online tool that can provide well-founded answers to such complex questions – and thus strengthen democratic participation.

MCube's five-point scientific plan for the future of mobility

Call for fundamental change in German mobility policy

MCube, Germany's largest mobility research cluster, calls for a fundamental change in mobility policy. MCube Co-Director Prof. Sebastian Pfotenhauer, Professor of Innovation Research at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), warns: "Germany is currently at a crossroads in many areas - including mobility policy. While other countries are pushing innovative concepts to reconcile economic growth, climate protection, and social justice, Germany is missing out on many opportunities to consciously set the tone and position itself as a leading global region. This is incomprehensible, especially regarding a key issue such as mobility."
