Artificial Intelligence and European Policy

Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Klaus Mainzer

The Policy Dialogue will address key societal and democratic challenges and opportunities posed by the recent evolution of artificial intelligence.
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact in the society is a vital topic for how world democracies will be shaped in the years to come. In this respect, the Policy Dialogue will discuss the essential features shaping the future of AI and democracy by addressing crucial questions: what is the connection (if any) between artificial intelligence and democracy? Is artificial intelligence a challenge for democracy? How could we transform artificial intelligence as a useful and viable tool that enhances the creation of democratic structures around the globe?

Workshop: Critical Thinking and Critical Living in Crisis: Innovations in Research and Pedagogy

The primary focus of this workshop is the feeding back of insights learned from the pandemic to develop and promote sustainable research and teaching practices. This is a collaborative praxis, and draws on scholar’s own critical theorizing to (re)imagine the classrooms in which we teach. Foregrounding solidarity and care offer a rich interdisciplinary inroad, as matters of care and crisis are relevant to researchers and practitioners working across the sciences, engaged in matters of policy, and collaborating in community and activist initiatives. The workshop will support the development of a postgraduate summer school to work with students to theorise care and the research methods needed to address it across affective, social, and infrastructural ecologies. We do so to collaboratively address how global health crises provide a basis for political and ethical imagination and methodological innovation; in so doing, we position care and ethics as integral features of an emergent research agenda and methodology.

From the digitalization of pre-existing archives to digitally native material, and going through new software tools to collect and process data, social sciences have been transformed by the digitalization of information. On the other hand, some recent evolutions have brought to computer scientists’ attention questions that used to be typical of social sciences. For instance, recent interrogations on algorithmic fairness, especially in Machine Learning, have underlined the importance of social biases in data, and the possibility to reproduce those bias, and the power imbalances that go with them, via uncritical application of learning techniques.

The aim of this international event is to gather computer and social scientists in order to build up a common language to talk about digital data and its processing, how it changes the practice of social sciences, and how social sciences may contribute to change computer practices.

International Workshop and Symposium: Proof and Computation 2022
30 May - 2 June 2022, Schlehdorf monastery (Kloster Schlehdorf)
An international meeting will be held from 30 May to 2 June 2022 at Cohaus Schlehdorf in Bavaria. The aim of this meeting is to bring together eminent scholars and young researchers active in the foundations of mathematics and computer science. There will be ample opportunity to form ad-hoc groups working on specific projects, but also to discuss in more general terms the vision of extracting computational information from proofs. The participants' expertise will include ordinal analysis, predicative foundations, constructive mathematics, type theory, computation in higher types, proof mining and program extraction from proof.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a critical impact across all dimensions of social life. The struggles of life under lockdown, as well as drastic changes to work and care practices, have altered our understandings of what we know, and how we know it. Bringing together anthropologists from across Europe, this working group seeks to understand how we evaluate new forms of risk, and how enduring the persistent risk of the pandemic has shaped possibilities for research and interpersonal relationships. Drawing on the experiences in their respective countries, these scholars will examine debates around vaccination, the struggle to make sense of an onslaught of scientific and epidemiological data, and the ways in which work, care, and solidarity have both contributed and been responsive to these public debates. More broadly, they will consider what the temporality of the pandemic and the consequent limits to socialization have meant for anthropology, which as an investigative discipline is explicitly attuned to the rhythms and interactions of everyday life.
