***Deutsche Version unten*** | *** Versão em português abaixo*** | *** Versión española abajo***
The next online seminar from the program Tübingen Science Bridge – Latin America (Humanities) will take place on July 19th at 04:00 pm MEZ and this year will focus on the Humanities and Social Sciences' approach to Artificial Intelligence, a topic of crucial importance in the contemporary debate.
The lecture has the participation of Prof. Gabriela Arriagada Bruneau, Assistant Professor, Data Ethics and Artificial Intelligence Institute of Applied Ethics (IEA) / Institute for Mathematical and Computational Engineering (IMC) of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. She will put on the agenda the theme Title: “A bias network approach to articulate bias mitigation strategies in AI”.
The program, an initiative of the Baden-Württemberg Center for Brazil and Latin America at the Universität Tübingen, aims to contribute to the internationalization of science and research. Scientists from several partner institutions will present their latest research data, promoting an integrated and constructive environment for scientific interaction and contributing global knowledge. The lectures of the Tübingen Science Bridge are aimed at professors and scientific researchers, graduate students, as well as a more the general audience.
The online seminar will be held in English on the ZOOM platform in order to allow discussion and interaction.

Lecture Briefing:
In this presentation, I will talk about a work in progress proposal of a bias network approach to articulate bias mitigation strategies. Our proposal brings forward the idea of using a ‘bias network approach’ (BNA) to make decisions about bias mitigation strategies in algorithmic development, which is particularly useful for high social impact domains like healthcare. The BNA considers how biases in the AI pipeline can influence each other as well as their interaction with relevant societal and human structures (e.g., human decision-making processes, implicit biases, problematic artifacts, and material dependencies). Adopting a sociotechnical view of AI, we argue that using BNA as a reflective methodology can improve the quality of ethical assessments of algorithmic projects. In collaboration with a research team, we conducted a retrospective BNA analysis on their ML project that created a model used for healthcare waiting lists in Chile. We were able to identify intertwined ethical and technical challenges, biases, and decisions that were not evident at the time of the project’s execution. In addition to pointing out these weaknesses, this collaboration allowed the research team to envision new opportunities to improve their model for future upgrades by using the BNA.

Das nächste Online-Seminar im Rahmen des Programms Tübingen Science Bridge – Latin America (Humanities) wird am 19. Juli um 04:00 pm MEZ stattfinden. In diesem Jahr werden sich die Seminare auf den geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Umgang mit Künstlicher Intelligenz konzentrieren, ein Thema, das in der aktuellen Debatte von entscheidender Bedeutung ist.
Der Vortrag wird von Prof. Gabriela Arriagada Bruneau, Assistenzprofessorin, Datenethik und künstliche Intelligenz Institut für angewandte Ethik (IEA) / Institut für Mathematik und Computertechnik (IMC) der Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile gehalten. Das Thema des Vortrags lautet “A bias network approach to articulate bias mitigation strategies in AI”.
Das Programm ist eine Initiative des Baden-Württembergischen Brasilien- und Lateinamerika-Zentrum. Das Ziel gilt es um einen Beitrag zur Internationalisierung von Wissenschaft und Forschung leisten. Hochkarätige Wissenschaftler:innen der verschiedenen Partnerinstitutionen präsentieren ihre neuesten Forschungsergebnisse und tragen damit zu einer gemeinsamen und konstruktiven Basis für die wissenschaftliche Zusammenarbeit bei.
Die Vorträge der Tübingen Science Bridge richten sich besonders an Hochschullehrer:innen und (Nachwuchs-)Wissenschaftler:innen, sowie an ein allgemeines wissenschaftlich interessiertes Publikum. Die Veranstaltungen finden auf Englisch über die Plattform ZOOM statt, um eine Diskussion und Interaktion zu ermöglichen.
