Pairing Research Talks – Gender & Diversity Edition
Tuesday, November 05, 2024, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at ECDF
The central topic of the ECDF Pairing Research Talks is digitalization. Two people from different subjects or disciplines, of different genders and who are looking at digitalization from different perspectives are brought together. The participants include Tabea Flügge, ECDF-Professor for Digital technologies for the reconstruction of complex facial defects at Charité Berlin, Raul Aguayo-Krauthausen, activist for inclusion and accessibility, Sénamé Koffi Agbodjinou, architect, anthropologist and founder of L' Africaine d'Architecture as well as Woelabs Togo and Mareike Lisker, research assistant at HTW Berlin. The event will be moderated by Michelle Christensen, ECDF-Professor for Open Science at Technischen Universität Berlin. In short pitches, they will first present the focus of their own work or research on the topic of “Gender & Diversity”. We will then discuss overarching questions in a moderated discussion. //Info and registration
More than 1 and 0 – How AI shapes the lives of young people
Wednesday, November 06, 2024, 6:00 to 8:00 pm., at filmkunst 66
“More than 1 and 0 – How AI shapes the lives of young people” shows “Uncanny Me”, an award-winning German documentary that highlights how AI technologies are not only changing the way we live and work, but also profoundly can intervene in our personal identity.
Following the movie screening, students from a project at the Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium Berlin will show short films in which they explore the topic themselves. In the run-up to the event, the Berlin school class worked on a project on the topic of AI. The students not only gained theoretical knowledge, but also actively dealt with the effects and ethical questions of AI: What does it mean to grow up in a world shaped by AI? What opportunities and risks do you see for your own future? The panel holds Helena Mihaljević, ECDF professor for data science at the HTW Berlin, students from the project as well as Anne-Christin Zeng, teacher for German, geography and “Study & Career” and representative for media education at the Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium Berlin. The event will be moderated by Benjamin Heinz (Cornelsen). //Info and registration
