AI & Ethics

In an interdisciplinary Europe-wide approach involving input talks, discussions and practical workshops, the AI & Ethics Summer School delved in 2022 into the ethical issues of AI applications and provides practical tools for identifying and addressing these issues.  

In autumn 2023, we are expanding our offer in form of the Fellowship-programme AI & Ethics. You will find more information here soon.

Summer School AI & Ethics 2022

The development of AI-based technology raises ethical issues with regard to transparency, explainability, fairness, inclusion, robustness, security and regulation, which are seldom addressed in traditional technical courses of study. But a 2021 survey by the Goethe-Institut and the Gesellschaft für Informatik (German Informatics Society) found that a great many students and professionals alike wish to discuss these very issues in depth. This is where our summer school came in, providing an opportunity for young people with a background in AI and/or ethics to grapple with the largely overlooked ethical issues of artificial intelligence.  
The AI & Ethics Summer School took an interdisciplinary approach featuring partners and lecturers from academia, civil society and the AI development community.
