The politics of controversy in an age of AI\n29 January 2024 | 7:00pm | Doors open: 06:30pm\nMuseum of Communication Berlin\, Leipziger Straße 16\, 101 17 Berlin\, Germany\n \;\n\nControversies about AI abound. But are we having the conversations and controversies about AI that we need to have? Some hold that the public debate about AI is increasingly dominated by sta te and industry. While activists\, journalists and researchers have played a key role in getting issues of AI-induced discrimination\, surveillance and worker exploitation on the public agenda\, current initiatives focused on “responsible AI” seem designed to strengthen the “innovation sta te” and create opportunities for business. As development and investment in AI is again rising sharply after the ChatGPT moment\, even technologis ts and world leaders articulate warnings that AI might cause fundamental d amage to societies\, including the risk of extinction. But are these the h arms and risks that we should prioritise in public and policy debates abou t AI? How can we put forward an agenda of controversies on AI that puts so ciety centre stage?\n\nIn this evening panel\, experts from activism\, jou rnalism and politics engage with today's big challenges at the intersectio n of AI and society. The conversation draws on findings from the internati onal research project Shaping AI and the concluding conference Shifting AI Controversies. \n\n \;\nHost and Intro\nChristian Katzenbach (Univer sity of Bremen / Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society )\n\n \;\nModerator\nNoortje Marres (University of Warwick)\n\n \; \nPanelists\nBrenda McPhail (Canadian Civil Liberties Association)\n\nMark Scott (Politico)\n\nMatthias Spielkamp (AlgorithmWatch) &\; tba.\n\nGl oria González Fuster (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)\n\n \;\nAgenda\n\n\ n\n6.30pm\n  Registration\n\n\n7.00pm\n  Welcome &\; introduction\n\n \n7.10pm\n  Panel discussion &\; questions from the audience\n\n\n8.3 0pm\n  Reception\n\n\n\n \;\nOrganisation\nThe evening panel is organ ised as part of the closing conference (register via this link) of the pro ject Shaping 21st Century AI\, which is a multinational collaboration of p artners in Germany\, France\, UK and Canada that examines the global traje ctories of public discourse on artificial intelligence.
