School of Transformation and Sustainability

JWL Certificate, Ethical and Effective AI Use

 starts in the summer semester for JWL students as a blended learning program


As part of the BA module “Cultural Transformation”, a service-learning seminar (Studium Pro) will take place during the summer semester:
Lecturer: Thomas Kupser (JFF – Institute for Media Education)

Roboversum. Art, Education, Science and Technology.

A multi-perspective examination of autonomous artificial systems is necessary. Robots and bots are becoming increasingly omnipresent. But what is their significance for people and society? What personal changes do they bring? The seminar takes an interdisciplinary approach, linking art and culture with education, science, and technology to explore these and other questions. We will collaborate with practitioners from the fields of art, culture, film, and science and engage in creative activities. The seminar invites participants to experience robots and bots not merely as technology, but as a new cultural force shaping society. The seminar inspires, challenges, and invites participants to anticipate the future as much as possible and actively help shape it. The plan is the first Roboversum, the robot culture festival in Eichstätt. Ultimately, robots are ideally suited to helping us understand what defines us as human beings.


April 15: Introductory session; the seminar and festival are presented with initial thematic insights. Lecture on Digital Ethics

April 22: Discussion and analysis of robots in film, plus a guest lecture and film presentation by Derik Rodrigues, a director from Munich

April 29: Analysis of the boundary between human and machine, between organism and artifact. Workshop with Amon Ritz, media artist and director

May 6: Development of a personal multimedia installation on the topic

May 13: Development of a personal multimedia installation on the topic. Reflection on the seminar.

Lecture series on "Inventing the Future: From Frankenstein to Artificial Intelligence"

During the summer semester, the lecture series “Inventing the Future: From Frankenstein to Artificial Intelligence” will take place in Ingolstadt over several sessions. All the details are already available on the new Frankenstein website. The site is still under construction but is being updated regularly. The lecture series is open to the public and intended for a broad audience (it is also taking place in cooperation with the Mensch in Bewegung project). Registration is not required (exception: the museum tour). Two of the lectures will be held in a hybrid format.

Symposium in Ingolstadt

A symposium is planned for this fall in Ingolstadt. A call for papers and further details will also be available on the website shortly. This event is generally open to the public, but is aimed at a specialist audience. There may also be additional side events for a broader audience in collaboration with the Mensch in Bewegung project team — but nothing specific has been planned yet.
