Technologie und Wirtschaft stehen vor der wichtigen Aufgabe sicherzustellen, dass wir auf dem Weg von der Automatisierung zur Autonomisierung nicht unsere Menschlichkeit verlieren. In diesem Panel stellen wir die Frage, welchen Einfluss führende Entwickler darauf nehmen, KI-Systeme human, fair und verantwortungsbewusst zu gestalten.
The panel Humanizing AI is part of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
