Interdisciplinary panel discussion on the topic of artificial intelligence

In a panel discussion in Audimax 1, BTU experts from the field of artificial intelligence will share their knowledge about the gradual integration of AI into our everyday lives and about the possibilities and limitations of the technology. They will also shed light on the ethical issues that arise.

From voice assistants that provide weather forecasts in the living room, to the use of ChatGPT as a modern teaching tool in schools and universities, to personalized recommendations from streaming services for films and series - artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our everyday lives. At the same time, these developments are also fueling fears and concerns.

An open interdisciplinary discussion round will provide an opportunity to ask the university's experts questions and engage in an exchange.

The event is initiated and supported by the BTU project KI(at)MINT(www.b-tu.de/ki-mint), whose project manager Prof . Dr. Peer Schmidt, Vice-President for Academic Affairs at BTU, will moderate the event.

The following discussion partners from BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg are expected:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Matthias Wolff (Chair of Communication Technology)
Dr. phil. Britta Rudolff (Field of Study Heritage Management)
Dr. Marius Klug (Head of the Young Investigator Group "Intuitive XR")
Dr. rer. nat. Toni Schneidereit (Chair of Applied Mathematics)
Henry Herkula (Centre for Continuing Education)
Julia Brademann (Student in the study programme providing further education)

Date: Wednesday, January 31, 2024, 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Location: Audimax 1 at the main campus of BTU, Konrad-Wachsmann-Allee 3, 03046 Cottbus
