KI-Systeme, insbesondere zur Sprach- und Videoanalyse, finden zunehmend Anwendung bei der Personalauswahl. Ziel ist es, geeignete Bewerber zu identifizieren und das Einstellungsverfahren zu optimieren. In der Untersuchung werden Datenschutz- und Antidiskriminierungsfragen beleuchtet. Der Autor analysiert, inwieweit Einblicke in die Persönlichkeit und Emotionen der Bewerber zulässig sind. Zudem erörtert er, unter welchen Bedingungen automatisierte Entscheidungen im Einstellungsverfahren legitim sind und inwieweit KI-Systeme transparent gemacht werden müssen. Die potenzielle Diskriminierung durch KI-Systeme wird behandelt und die Abdeckung solcher Fälle durch das AGG analysiert. Dabei werden auch Fragen des Verschuldens und der Verschuldenszurechnung berücksichtigt. Ein Ausblick auf die Auswirkungen der geplanten KI-Verordnung auf den Einsatz solcher KI-Systeme rundet die Untersuchung ab. Der Autor gelangt zu dem Schluss, dass KI-Systeme das Einstellungsverfahren verbessern können. / »Robot-Recruiting. Challenges under Data Protection and Anti-Discrimination Law in the use of AI Systems in the Recruitment Process«: The thesis addresses the use of AI systems, specifically for speech and video analysis, in recruiting. Privacy and anti-discrimination issues are highlighted. The first part examines the extent to which insights into the personality and emotions of applicants are possible and automated decisions are legally permissible in the recruitment process within the scope of the GDPR. The second part addresses potential discrimination by AI systems and analyzes the coverage of such cases by the GETA.

Die Arbeit behandelt das dogmatische Verhältnis zwischen nationalem und europäischem Massenentlassungsrecht vor dem Hintergrund der Grundrechtsbindung im europäischen Mehrebenensystem anhand der Frage, ob für Arbeitnehmer mit Sonderkündigungsschutz ein verfassungskonform erweiterter Entlassungsbegriff anzuwenden ist. Die Untersuchung kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Anwendung eines verfassungskonform erweiterten Entlassungsbegriffs aufgrund der Öffnungsklausel der Massenentlassungsrichtlinie und der dahinterstehenden Kompetenzverteilung der Art. 153 AEUV unionsrechtskonform ist, ein verfassungsrechtliches Bedürfnis für diese Korrektur entgegen der Ansicht des BVerfG aber nicht besteht. Für die Praxis leitet der Autor die Übertragbarkeit des verfassungskonform erweiterten Entlassungsbegriffs auf andere Sonderkündigungstatbestände her. Abstrahiert leistet die Arbeit einen grundlegenden Beitrag zum Umgang mit verfassungs- und unionsrechtlichen Vorgaben im mindestharmonisierten Arbeitsrechts. / »Mass Dismissal Law and Special Protection against Dismissal. A Dogmatic Analysis on the Inclusion of Employees with Special Protection against Dismissal in Mass Dismissal Proceedings«: Since the paradigm shift brought about by the junk case law, mass dismissal law has offered considerable need for discussion. This is intensified by the requirements of constitutional and european law. Against this background, this paper deals with the dogmatic relationship between national and european mass dismissal law on the basis of the question of whether an expanded concept of dismissal is to be applied to employees with special protection against dismissal in conformity with the constitution.

"The definitive takedown of fatphobia, drawing on personal experience as well as rigorous research to expose how size discrimination harms everyone, and how to combat it-from the acclaimed author of Down Girl and Entitled. For as long as she can remember, Kate Manne has wanted to be smaller. She can tell you what she weighed on any significant occasion: her wedding day, the day she became a professor, the day her daughter was born. She's been bullied and belittled for her size, leading to extreme dieting. As a feminist philosopher, she wanted to believe that she was exempt from the cultural gaslighting that compels so many of us to ignore our hunger. But she was not. Blending intimate stories with the trenchant analysis that has become her signature, Manne shows why fatphobia has become a vital social justice issue. Over the last several decades, implicit bias has waned in every category, from race to sexual orientation, except one: body size. Manne examines how anti-fatness operates-how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a person's attractiveness, fortitude, and intellect, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. Fatphobia is responsible for wage gaps, medical neglect, and poor educational outcomes; it is a straitjacket, restricting our freedom, our movement, our potential. In this urgent call to action, Manne proposes a new politics of "body reflexivity"-a radical reevaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else. When it comes to fatphobia, the solution is not to love our bodies more. Instead, we must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us, and remake the world to accommodate people of every size"--

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered ethics to the forefront of both medical education and public discourse. In addition to illuminating persistent moral questions about fairness, access to healthcare, and citizens' responsibilities to one another's well-being, the pandemic emerged within the context of profound social divisions and disagreements regarding core values. This book explores subjects that have been accorded less attention, such as the implications of surveillance, the moral dimensions of conspiracy theories, and the moral distress and injury that have led many healthcare professionals to rethink their vocation. Each chapter of the volume presents the background and research surrounding specific moral dilemmas, e.g., school closures, rationing, privacy, and surveillance. These issues are subsequently examined within the context of various ethical models, including utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, moral foundations theory, principlism, Rawls's theory of justice, and communitarianism. The book will be beneficial to students of health professions, philosophy, bioethics, and for those who value informed citizenship.
