Comment/Description

This research seminar covers advanced topics in the Ethics of AI, critical social theory of the digital society, privacy and data protection. We read recent publications in the field as well as classical texts, and debate presentations of ongoing projects. Each session will combine text-based work with discussions in an intensive 3-hour format. The research seminar is open to advanced Ph.D., MA and BA students specializing in the field, including but not limited to those who aim to write their BA/MA/Ph.D. thesis in the Ethics of AI research group.

Prerequisites: This course requires advanced knowledge in the field of Ethics of AI. New participants must have completed the "Introduction to the Ethics of AI" lecture and at least one additional seminar offered by the members of Ethics of AI research group (or equivalent classes at other universities).

Please send your motivation letter until the week before the first session to office-muehlhoff@uni-osnabrueck.de, stating "motivation letter colloquium" in the subject line.
