About the event:
The rapid development of generative AI is having a profound impact on modern society. At the same time, it raises critical questions about the underlying values and the ethical, legal, and societal implications of these technologies. The aim of the Summer School is to critically examine the normative foundations of generative AI and to discuss which values are embedded in its design and how these values can be reflected upon and modeled. The Summer School offers an interdisciplinary space to connect perspectives from computer science, linguistics, philosophy, theology, medicine, and law. It is aimed at early-career researchers who seek to engage in meaningful discourse on values and norms in AI development and wish to build lasting scholarly networks.
