AI in Conversation
Together with our member Archimedes Exhibitions, we invite you to a panel discussion in the AMDX workshop. In the interactive fishbowl format, we will be discussing with our panel guests and the audience.
The aim is to explore how AI may affect not only the way we live together, but also the political, social and creative foundations of our society. What role can AI play in strengthening democratic processes, and where are the risks that could threaten them? How can science, design and culture work together to create AI systems that are inclusive, fair and democratic?
Panelists:
Prof. Dr. Jeanette Hofmann, Professor of Internet Policy at the FU Berlin, Head of the Research Group “Politics of Digitalization” at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center
Yasemin Keskintepe, art historian and curator - among other things, she organized the special exhibition “Artificial Intelligence. Machines - Learning - Human Dreams” at the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Löwe, Director UX Design at the digital agency Virtual Identity, co-author of the book “Design and Artificial Intelligence”
