SUMMARY:Workshop: The Turn to AI in Governing Communication Online
DESCRIPTION:Das HIIG und Access Now organisierten am 20. März 2018 eine Ex
 pertenworkshop zu den derzeitigen und zukünftigen Möglichkeiten mit kün
 stlicher Intelligenz (artificial intelligence systems) Online-Kommunikatio
 n zu regulieren. Der Workshop fand auf Englisch statt.\n\nThe technology u
 nderlying artificial intelligence research has increasingly found applicat
 ions in the area of content moderation and communication governance on dig
 ital platforms. While the scale of problematic online content makes a stro
 nger move reasonable\, taking down content through automated means can be 
 risky for online expression and access to information. Amid an obscure use
  of AI-systems\, opaque implementation\, vague definitions and a lack of a
 ccountability\, governments\, advertisers and even users are heavily press
 uring companies to take action. Policy-makers in EU members states have al
 ready responded with new regulatory initiatives.\n\nOn March 20\, 2018 the
  Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) and Acce
 ss Now organized the one-day Expert Workshop "The turn to artificial inte
 lligence in governing communication online".\n\nInternational experts from
  academia\, politics\, civil society and business gathered in Berlin to di
 scuss technological advancements\, the extent of 'artificial intelligence
 ' deployment and the range of approaches to understanding the status and f
 uture impact of AI-systems to govern social communication on the internet.
 \nWorkshop Report\nA workshop report has been published in September 2018.
  It summarises and documents the authors’ main takeaways from the discus
 sions. The comments\, questions and responses from experts also fed into t
 he report. It is intended to contribute current perspectives to the discou
 rse on AI and the governance of communication.\n\nThe full report (pdf) is
  available for download.\nThemes\nThe workshop was organized around proble
 m-oriented questions in order to map challenges in the field.\n\n 	Who are
  the primary agents of the socio-technical change to artificial intelligen
 ce in content moderation?\n 	How is the turn to AI influenced (e.g. govern
 ance instruments)?\n 	Why is the process of change accepted\, or not? \n\n
 The final programme consisted of two impulse statements covering socio-tec
 hnical challenges\, limitations and expectations of 'AI'. We were also ver
 y delighted that the UN Special Rapporteur David Kaye and Tarleton Gillesp
 ie of Microsoft Research were able to participate in the discussion remote
 ly. In four thematic sessions all participants actively contributed their 
 expertise and knowledge.\n\nThe workshop served as vantage point for a fru
 itful exchange both between academic disciplines as well as between academ
 ics\, civil society and practitioners with diverse backgrounds and interes
 ts. As we embark on this critical and forward-looking work area\, we invi
 te people to stay in touch with us\, and hope to contribute to the discour
 se on "AI and communication governance" within our research and advocacy n
 etworks in the future.\n\nFollow us on Twitter\, #turn2AI\nProgramme\n\n\n

 xplores the dynamic relationship between the Internet and society\, includ
 ing the increasing interpenetration of digital infrastructures and various
  domains of everyday life. Its goal is to understand the interplay of soci
 al-cultural\, legal\, economic and technical norms in the process of digit

 ganisation that defends and extends the digital rights of users at risk ar
 ound the world. We are a team of 40\, with local staff in 10 locations aro
