Vortragsreihe HS 23 Lecture Series Fall Semester 23

The Campus Oerlikon lecture series organized for the third time in the fall semester 2023 aims to explore and discuss research projects and research activities at Campus Oerlikon, contributes to good networking among UZH-based researchers and opens possibilities for cross-disciplinary exchange and collaboration. The target audience are UZH members, interested staff members of companies surrounding Campus Oerlikon and local residents. The event also helps to increase the visibility of the research location “Campus Oerlikon” within the UZH and the local community in Oerlikon.
The lecture series takes place on two afternoons in fall semester 2023.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly penetrating large parts of our society and thereby impacts our daily lives. Chat bots like ChatGPT, autonomous cars or military drones, systems enabling automated medical diagnoses are just a few prominently discussed examples. But what constitutes artificial intelligence? How exactly does it benefit our society and what dangers does it pose? Which decisions should we leave to it, and who takes responsibility for them?  The Campus Oerlikon lecture series in the HS 2023 approaches these and other questions on the role played by AI. It aims to explore the various ways in which it is transforming our society, economy, and culture, as well as the challenges and opportunities that it presents for individuals, communities, and institutions. In this context, we welcome contributions that critically examine the ethical, social, psychological, and economic implications of AI, including its impact on employment, privacy, security, and social justice. We also encourage talks that address the role of AI in shaping public opinion, political discourse, and decision-making processes as well as the way we are doing research.
