„Code & Vorurteil“ - Buchvorstellung und Diskussion

In the organizer's words:

Our future lives are set to be revolutionized by artificial intelligence. But who will benefit from the increased efficiency and for whom will artificial intelligence pose a real threat? In conversation with the publisher of the book "Code & Prejudice: On Artificial Intelligence, Racism and Anti-Semitism", Leo Fischer, Melih Özkardes, member of the European Commission's Speakers Pool Team EUROPE DIRECT, discusses the possible consequences of the use of AI for democracy and the open, diverse society in Europe. It will also address (racist) algorithms, anti-Semitic deep fakes, digital filters and beauty ideals, but also the possibilities of "good" AI in the fight against inequality and for democracy, as provided for in European Union legislation.

The event is part of the Düsseldorf AI Week organized by the Düsseldorf City Libraries , which is dedicated to the future of the digital age with workshops, lectures and discussion panels.
