Launch event for the project “The Ethics of Digitalisation”

How should we programme chatbots to make sure they don’t discriminate when they’re communicating? What rules do we need if we want to develop AI that serves the public good? How should we design algorithms that shape our society?

With the project “The Ethics of Digitalisation” we investigate these questions in cooperation with renowned partners. To kick off the project, which is funded by the Stiftung Mercator, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier invites to a conference at Schloss Bellevue.

Panel discussion in Schloss Bellevue with:

• Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier
• Annette Schavan, Co-Chairwoman of the German-Chinese Dialogue Forum
• Wolfgang Rohe, Managing Director of Stiftung Mercator
• Wolfgang Schulz, Spokesman of the European Section of the Global Network of Internet and Society Research Center
• Sunimal Mendis, participant in the Fellow Programme “Ethics of Digitalisation
