Event Series

The event series "KI erklärt" aims to make the „myth“ of artificial intelligence more accessible to a broader audience. Together with leading experts, we explain fundamental concepts and functionalities of artificial intelligence and discuss ethical, economical and political questions, such as:  

• What are the chances and risks of generative AI models and contents generated by them?

• Can we still trust content on the internet?

• What impact does the new European AI act have on our everyday (business) lives?

• What is behind the terms Deep Learning, Deep Fakes etc.?

• How can an AI system discriminate?

As a start of the series of events under the title “KI erklärt” on November 12, 2024, the focus will be on regulation of AI: In two talks, AI experts Olivia J. Erdélyi and Was Rahman will explain the fundamental concepts behind AI-technology and shed light on what control and regulation of AI (can) look like. Therefore they address legal frameworks as the european AI act, discuss the ethical challenges of AI as well as talk about the implementation of regulations in practice.
Afterwards, there will be the opportunity for questions and discussion.

The event well be held in German and is free of charge.
