Alexander Wuttke receives Emmy Noether funding
Why do people profess support for democracy yet vote for politicians who undermine it? Alexander Wuttke, Junior Professor of Digitalization and Political Behavior at LMU, is tackling this question with a €1.17 million Emmy Noether grant from the DFG. His project, Predictably Paradoxical: Leveraging AI to Map the Democratic Mind, uses AI-supported interviews to explore how contradictory democratic attitudes arise, combining large-scale surveys with in-depth, human-like conversations across 13 countries.
