The event will be held in German.\n\n \;\n  Autonomous Systems &\; Interfaces\n\nWorkshop\nThursday\, 4 July\, 2024 | 14:00 pm - 18:00 pm\nFriday\, 5 July\, 2024 | 09:15 am -12:30 pm\nHIIG\ , Französische Str. 9\, 10117 Berlin\n \;\n\nAutonomous systems are o ften understood to be synonymous with AI - as self-controlling machines th at can operate independently. They are self-directed in their movements\, able to interact with their environment and are not dependent on human con trol. Contrary to these assumptions\, however\, their autonomy is based on numerous prerequisites\, such as their energy supply\, programming or mai ntenance. Furthermore\, systems that are completely immune to human influe nce are an absurd idea in research and development practice.\n\nTwo partic ular relationships are among the numerous premises of the autonomy of auto nomous systems: First\, this concerns the connection between humans and ma chines\, materialised as interfaces that enable and at the same time shape possibilities for agency and intervenability. Second\, the interface betw een the system and the environment is of considerable importance. Its auto nomy is not only based on the representation of the system’s surrounding s that is generated by sensors\, but also on the technical and functional prerequisites for how it can exert influence on its environment (for examp le through tools or means of locomotion).\n\nThese two relations raise que stions that can be particularly addressed  by models that are developed i n the humanities. Accordingly\, in this workshop we aim to explore differe nt humanities approaches to robotics and bring them into conversation with each other –  including perspectives from sociology\, media studies ep istemology and the history of science and technology. The goal of the work shop is to use different subject areas (e.g. vehicles\, robots and weapon systems) to analyse these complex translation processes that underlie the autonomy of these systems. It helps to determine more precisely the potent ial of research on and with robots and AI that is developed in the humanit ies and social sciences.\n\nThe event is a cooperation between the Alexand er von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society and the Collaborative R esearch Center 1567: Virtual Lifeworlds (Ruhr University Bochum).\n\nThe w orkshop programme (in German) can be accessed here.\n\nPlease contact Dana Abuosba (dana.abuosba@hiig.de) to register for this event. Please note th at the number of participants is limited.\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hiig.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/T itelbild-–-Autonome-Systeme-und-Interfaces.png LOCATION:Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society\, Französische Straß e 9\, Berlin\, 10117\, Germany X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Französische Straße 9\, B erlin\, 10117\, Germany;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Berlin X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Berlin BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
