V.) on how AI can be designed and used in a human-centered, explainable, and responsible manner.
In a dialog-based and interactive setting, you as participants are also invited to share your perspectives and discuss key questions at the intersection of science, technology, education, and society together with the panelists.
The event is presented by the Zentrum für Kulturtechnik (ZfK) at the Humboldt-Universität with the kind support of the Stifterverband and the German Research Foundation (DFG).
