Doctoral fellowships: "Artificial Intelligence as a Factor and Consequence of Social and Cultural Change"

As part of its post-graduate program, Schaufler Kolleg@TU Dresden, the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, co-financed by The Schaufler Foundation and the Technische Universität Dresden, is offering 10 doctoral fellowships starting as soon as possible and continuing for a period of 2 years, with the option of a one-year extension. The topic is “Artificial Intelligence as a Characteristic and Consequence of Social and Cultural Change.” The fellowship (1,750.00 EUR monthly, plus a grant for the cost of materials) is intended for young scholars in the humanities and social sciences.

In the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, researchers in the humanities and social sciences will be cooperating over the next three years with artists and researchers in STEM disciplines on the subject of “AI as a Characteristic and Consequence of Social and Cultural Change.” They will explore the question of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) -- understood as both technological information processing and as the object of cultural imagination -- changes cultural and social structures and is itself produced and changed by these forces. Doctoral projects may approach the topic from ethical, social, legal, political, historical, aesthetic and media-based perspectives.
