Lecture / Discussion in German

{Justice} {Artificial Intelligence} {Gamification}

Artificial intelligence is supposed to reduce effort and costs in many areas. But what happens to social justice and equality when this logic is used to make decisions in the welfare state? The lecture shows the impact on our social rights and how civil society can hold courts and supervisory authorities to account.

A veiled figure stands in front of a black background. Where her face should actually be visible, you can see the graphic representation of the amplitude of a voice recording in rainbow colours.

A woman wearing glasses and a light gray sweater stands leaning against a concrete pillar, with her hands folded in front of her. She is in a modern indoor space with gray lockers in the background, and sunlight creates soft shadows on the wall

Doris Allhutter is a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Technology Assessment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. She holds a doctorate in political science with a focus on science and technology research. She is concerned with the question of how social ideas are inscribed in information systems and how the development and use of technology help to shape social conditions. She is currently investigating software development practices in the field of semantic technologies from a socio-political and socio-material perspective. She is a member of the COST Action on New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on 'How Matter Comes to Matter'. www.oeaw.ac.at/ita/allhutter

Abendprogramme

Abendprogramm zu "JUSTITIA! Data Ghosts" von Gin Müller, Laura Andreß und Team

Willkommen in der Black Box der künstlich-intelligenten Rechtsprechung! „Justitia“, die technologische Zukunft der Justiz, führt das Testpublikum mithilfe ihrer Gerichtsavatare durch ein futuristisches (Gedanken-)Spiel. In der interaktiven, performativen Installation JUSTITIA! Data Ghosts gilt es, für Mensch und Maschine gemeinsam eine mögliche Utopie zu erproben, die maschinelle Genauigkeit und Voraussicht mit menschlicher Intuition und Urteilskraft vereint.
