Living Lab Lecture No. 10: Ethics and AI – a complicated relationship?

On 4th May 2022 at 11:00 am our 10th Living Lab Lecture will take place. This time Hermann Diebel-Fischer will talk about "Ethics and AI – A complicated relationship?".

The ScaDS.AI scientific researcher outlines the relationship of ethics and AI with regard to two fundamental issues:

• the intricate translation processes that take place when we need to make the world computable, i.e. render it into data, and
• the structure of ethics itself.

Our understanding of the world is already shaped by technology and therefore, it makes sense, to understand ethics technologically. However, this understanding of ethics might not capture how ethics actually works, as it is irrational and unquantifiable, yet still important parts are likely to be left out. Hermann Diebel-Fischer describes ethics as a human endeavour that cannot be considered without referring to its underlying and changing technological structure which at the same time has an impact on technological progress.

The Living Lab Lecture Series is free for everyone.
