Event information
We are increasingly leaving decisions to AI-based systems in our everyday lives – whether it’s navigating traffic, choosing music or recommending a book.
But what impact do digital technologies have on democratic decision-making processes, in which free choice is so important? How can they make our system more democratic, what do we have to pay attention to? Are ChatGPT, DALL:E and Co. really just catalysts for disinformation or can they also be the solution to it?
Discuss with us and our guests:
- Prof. Dr. Christoph Bieber, Research Professor for Digital Democratic Innovations at the Center for Advanced Internet Studies
- Prof. Dr. Kornelia Freitag, Vice Rector for Teaching and Studies at the Ruhr Universität Bochum
- Milad Tabesch, founder of the Initiative Ruhrpott für Europa
The discussion will be moderated by Katja Leistenschneider.
Admission from 6 p.m. – admission is free!
Be there, ask your questions and then let’s end the evening with European music and snacks. We look forward seeing you!
