4EU+ online seminars on "Artificial Intelligence Techniques, Applications, and Social Issues"
Artificial intelligence as a question of civic education
1 April 2021 16:00 – 17:30 CET Link to online seminars: Zoom
Abstract
What does it mean that we are surrounded by artificial intelligence? What consequences does this have for our daily life and for the skills needed to participate and work in a civic society? Furthermore, how does educational systems respond to these demands for teaching towards future society with an increased automation of cognitive processes? The talk combines a philosophical and educational take on the problem and aims at answering the question how do we educate for a society shaped by artificiall intelligence.
