Speaker: Marc Rotenberg (Center for AI and Digital Policy, USA)
Moderator: Hannes Werthner (TU Wien, Austria)
Over the past year, there was a dramatic increase in the number of AI governance frameworks adopted by national governments and international organizations. From the EU AI Act and the US Executive Order to the Bletchley Declaration and the UN Resolution, policymakers have been busy. Now that legislation has been adopted, the focus will shift to implementation and enforcement. But there are also challenging questions emerging. Will there be convergence or divergence on the norms for AI governance? What can be done at this stage to promote harmonization while still leaving open the possibility of responding to new challenges? In this presentation, Marc Rotenberg, founder of the Center for AI and Digital Policy, will provide a preliminary assessment of the current state of AI governance and the challenges ahead.
About the Series
A roughly bi-weekly seminar offers presentations and panels from worldwide thought leaders. It is typically held on Tuesday afternoons at 17:00 CET.
The bidt and the TU Wien are cooperation partners for DIGHUM lecture series.
Digital Humanism deals with the complex relationship between man and machine. It acknowledges the potential of Informatics and IT. At the same time, it points to related apparent threats such as privacy violations, ethical concerns with AI, automation, and loss of jobs, and the ongoing monopolization on the Web.
For this reason, a new initiative — DIGHUM lectures — started with regular online events to discuss the different aspects of Digital Humanism.
We will have one or more speakers on a specific topic followed by a discussion, or panel discussions, depending on topic and speakers. The exact dates will be announced at least two weeks before.
