»The Future of Artificial Intelligence« – Invitation to the Third Event of the »BEYOND NOW ⸺ Questions on the Future of Society« Series on 8 May

The third edition of the event series centres around artificial intelligence (AI). The possibilities offered by artificial intelligence AI seem incredible, even magical. Digitalised aspects of life are developing at lightning speed – AI seems omnipresent and omnipotent. This brings up questions that refer to the fundamental relationship between technology and society and can only be answered from an interdisciplinary perspective, a task that guests will attempt during the event.

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s Henning Schmidgen, Professor of »Medientheorie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte«, and Benno Stein, Professor of Intelligent Information Systems, have both been invited to the event. The event will be moderated by Carsten Tesch, Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk.
