Topics

Workshop: Who determines what artificial intelligence should be able to do?
An overview of current AI regulations

What concerns do you have when you think of artificial intelligence (AI)? And what would an AI algorithm need to accomplish to make you feel good? Based on these questions, we provide an overview of current AI regulatory approaches, the ethical considerations behind them, and the relevant players. We explain in an easy-to-understand way how something as diverse as AI can be politically regulated and standardized, and show opportunities for citizens and companies to participate in this process. 

Target group: The workshop is suitable for citizens without prior knowledge of AI as well as for people who would like to delve deeper into the current regulation of AI. 
Duration: flexible, min. 45 minutes, max. 2.5 hours
