Lecture Series: "KI – Entwicklungspfade in der Demokratie"

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.
