Certified AI
The aim of the project is to develop procedures to examine generally accepted standards for AI systems and their verification, as well as to explore business models for an AI certification. Our research investigates the ethical-philosophical significance of these dimensions.
Desirable Digitalisation
Rethinking AI for Just and Sustainable Futures.
We investigate how to design AI (artificial intelligence) and other digital technologies in a responsible way, placing the questions of social justice and environmental sustainability at the very heart of our work.
Our research program is a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge and Bonn and numerous international partners, and is funded by the Mercator Foundation in Germany.
Borderline Consciousness
The 'Towards New Demarcation Criteria for Borderline Consciousness' Project is an interdisciplinary project involving a collaboration between philosophers of Bonn and Cambridge and neuroscientists from the epilepsy clinic in Bonn. Its main purpose is to create an international research forum to develop new criteria for determining whether and when non-human entities, such as non-linguistic animals, new brain organisms, or advanced AI systems can be considered conscious.
Event Series Summer Semester 2023
This summer semester, there will be a digital event series organized by the CST AI Research Group.
We are now meeting in the CST building (Konrad-Zuse-Platz 1-3, 3rd floor). All the events will be organized in a hybrid format.
AI Mailing List
The CST has created a new AI mailing list to better circulate information on all AI events organized in Bonn. If you want to be informed about what is happening on AI or even post information about what you organize, you just have to register here: https://listen.uni-bonn.de/wws/info/philosophy_and_ai
This list is open to anyone interested in AI (and it's easy to (un)subscribe).
