Summer School 2024
Artificial Intelligence in Research and Society
21.-24.06.2024, Blossin
Application deadline: 2 April 2024
In the future, artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly impact research and our society: Predictive AI will improve our ability to predict trends, make informed decisions, and optimize processes. Generative AI will help to create new content, such as realistic images, texts, and even entire scenarios. While these advances are promising, they also pose major challenges for research and society. Ethical considerations, biases in training data, and the interpretability of complex models are among the key hurdles that need to be overcome to ensure the responsible and fair use of predictive and generative AI technologies. In terms of a fair and positive future, it will be important to find and maintain a balance between innovation and ethical use of these technologies.
During the three-day summer school, we want to discuss these aspects of AI in more detail and bring together renowned experts, professional trainers and young scientists from all areas of the natural sciences.
