Challenges
The challenge involves a detailed analysis of current version of the EU AI Act with a focus on the question: In how far does the EU AI Act promote social sustainability goals? The goal is to provide some suggestions for improvement to be forwarded to MEP and shadow rapporteur, Alex Voss.
As AI causes prominent paradigm shifts in society, the demand for advanced knowledge of the ethical challenges of AI increases. By leveraging diverse didactical methods, we developed a workshop to sharpen industry and political actors’ expertise of ethical AI.
