Lecture Series: "Der Shift der Technik ins Soziale: Über Kommunikation, Medienkultur und die Mensch-Maschine-Beziehung mit KI"

After the University of Erfurt and Erfurt University of Applied Sciences have regularly organised joint lecture series on current socially relevant topics in recent years, there will be a joint public lecture series from all of Erfurt's universities in cooperation with the city of Erfurt for the first time in the summer semester of 2024. It is entitled "KI und Social Media: Risiken und Empfehlungen" and will take place on eight dates from 6.15 pm to 7.45 pm in the City Hall. Speakers from the University of Erfurt, the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt, the iba – Internationale Berufsakademie, the International University of Applied Sciences and the Health Medical University will shed light on various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) from different scientific perspectives. The series of events will conclude in autumn with a panel discussion at which representatives from the universities will discuss with guests the role AI already plays in research and teaching.

about this lecture:
In a world where the boundaries between humans and technology are becoming increasingly blurred, the lecture invites us to explore how AI is shaping and challenging this increasingly complex relationship. We will discuss the ethical, social and cultural implications that arise from this new dynamic of digital networking between humans and machines.

All interested parties are cordially invited to attend. Admission is free. Please note, however, that the number of seats is limited to 180.
