But while the technology is advanc ing at extraordinary speed\, a more fundamental question often gets left b ehind: what kind of AI are we actually building – and who is it supposed to serve? Behind today's AI boom are problems that cannot be solved simpl y by making models faster\, smarter\, or more efficient. The industry depe nds on enormous amounts of data\, labour\, energy\, and natural resources. Responsibility for the harms of AI products is neglected by companies. An d the priorities driving technological development do not necessarily alig n with the needs of society. In this lecture\, Dr. Theresa Züger will exa mine some of the structural problems behind AI development today – from extractivism and sustainability to responsibility and societal harm – be fore asking what it would mean to start again from a different premise. Ra ther than looking for another technological quick fix\, she will introduce the idea of AI in the public interest: an approach that asks us to evalua te technology according to the value it creates for society. What would ch ange if we expected AI to serve human rights\, sustainability\, inclusion\ , and the common good? Who should get to define those goals? And are there already examples that point toward a different technological future? This is not a lecture about fixing AI with a better algorithm. It is an invita tion to rethink what we demand from technology in the first place. What we 'll cover What is going wrong with AI development today – from extractiv ism and environmental costs to responsibility and societal harm How we can begin thinking about alternative approaches to developing and evaluating AI What AI in the public interest means – and what changes when technolo gy is expected to [...] DTSTAMP:20261113T015537Z LOCATION:Alter Roter Löwe\, Richardstr. 31-32\, 12043 Berlin\, Germany SUMMARY:Restart AI: X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Restart AI:\nOverview ⏱️ Schedule: Doors 18:30 → Talk 19:00 → Q&A → Mingle 🌐 Language: English Artificial intelligen ce is being built into more and more parts of our lives.
