in englischer SpracheArtificial Intelligence (AI) and big data have become increasingly important issues in public debates in recent years. Science, politics and business are hoping for new insights and more robust, presumably “evidence-based” recommendations for action. What are the political, social and ethical implications of “automated” knowledge production, circulation and use? What are the potentials, limits and risks? How do public policy and administration productively deal with the ethical challenges of AI and big data, and what might European answers to these challenges look like? What kind of (new) governance will be needed?

Meredith BROUSSARD
Assistant Professor, Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, New York University, New York
| Data journalist Meredith Broussard is an assistant professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University and the author of "Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World.". Her academic research focuses on artificial intelligence in investigative reporting, with a particular interest in using data analysis for social good. She is also interested in reproducible research issues and is developing methods for preserving innovative digital journalism projects in scholarly archives so that we can read today’s news on tomorrow’s computers. She is an affiliate faculty member at the Moore Sloan Data Science Environment at the NYU Center for Data Science, a 2019 Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow, and her work has been supported by the Institute of Museum & Library Services as well as the Tow Center at Columbia Journalism School.

Dr. Sepp HOCHREITER
Professor and Head, Institute for Machine Learning, Johannes Kepler University Linz
| Sepp Hochreiter leitet das Institut für Machine Learning, das LIT AI Lab und das Audi.JKU Deep Learning Center der Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz. Er forscht auf dem Gebiet des maschinellen Lernens und ist ein Pionier des boomenden Forschungsfeldes Deep Learning, das gerade die künstliche Intelligenz revolutioniert. Bekannt wurde Prof. Hochreiter durch die Entdeckung und Entwicklung von "Long Short Term Memory" (LSTM) in seiner Diplomarbeit im Jahre 1991, welche später 1997 publiziert wurde. In jüngster Zeit hat sich LSTM zur besten Methode für Sprach- und Textverarbeitung entwickelt, wo es neue Rekorde aufstellte. Seit 2012 wird LSTM in Google’s Android Spracherkenner verwendet, seit 2015 in Google’s Voice Transcription, seit 2016 in Google’S Allo und auch seit 2016 in Apple’s iOS 10. Zurzeit treibt Prof. Hochreiter die theoretischen Grundlagen von Deep Learning voran, indem er den Gradientenfluss durch neuronale Netze analysiert, das Konzept von "Self-Normalizing Networks" entwickelt und "Generative Adversarial Networks" (GANs) sowie "Reinforcement"-Algorithmen verbessert. Derzeitige Projekte umfassen Deep Learning für Medikamentenentwicklung, für Text- und Sprachanalyse, für Bildverarbeitung und im speziellen für autonomes Fahren. |
