Speaker: Marc Rotenberg (Center for AI and Digital Policy, USA)
Moderator: Hannes Werthner (TU Wien, Austria)
Abstract
The outcome of the US election will have an impact on the world, including and especially on AI and AI governance. In our digital humanism lecture and discussion, we will reflect on the situation and look to a possible future. We must avoid fatalism, the topic should be “Next Steps”. There is a larger conversation to begin. This would provide an opportunity to place AI policy in the larger context of digital humanism.
