The bidt and the TU Wien are cooperation partners for the DIGHUM lecture series – regular online events that discuss the different aspects of Digital Humanism.
Panel with Speaker: Gaétan Hains, Université Paris-Est Créteil, France; Paola Inverardi, Gran Sasso Science Institute, L’Aquila, Italy and Alexander Wolf, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
Moderator: Hannes Werthner, TU Wien, Austria
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping or even disrupting higher education and prompting fundamental questions about the future of Computer Science as an academic discipline and its place within the university. CS departments around the world are rethinking their educational mission, research priorities, and institutional role. This panel will explore three central questions:
- What should we teach in the future?
- How will we conduct research, and what will be the key research topics?
- What should be the role of Computer Science within the university of the future?
Join us for a discussion on how the discipline can respond to the opportunities and challenges created by AI.
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 the 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, loss of jobs, and the ongoing monopolisation 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 the topic and speakers. The exact dates will be announced at least two weeks before.
