Natural Language Processing für Digital Humanities - Grundlagen und neuste Entwicklungen
Verfahren des maschinellen Lernens im Kontext der Sprachverarbeitung sind momentan in aller Munde. Noch ist unklar, wie und wo genau Systeme wie etwa ChatGPT in der Forschung zum Einsatz kommen werden. Schon lange werden jedoch, auch in den Digital Humanities, mit regel-basierten und statistischen Verfahren Texte automatisiert analysiert. Für Forschende bleibt es wichtig ein Verständnis der Methoden zu entwickeln, um so jeweils die passende Technik zur Anwendung zu bringen und dabei insbesondere die Schwächen der Methoden zu berücksichtigen.
In seinem Vortrag beleuchtet Hans Ole Hatzel zunächst die Grundlagen der computergestützten Textverarbeitung und erklärt dabei von Tokens und Types bis hin zu Word Embeddings und Sentiment Analyse unterschiedliche etablierte Techniken. Einige Verfahren werden mit Beispielen aus den Digital Humanities hinterlegt, um neben den Methoden selbst auch zu verdeutlichen, wie sie konkret Anwendung finden. Am Schluss folgt ein Ausblick auf die Verwendung von Large Language Models, der Technologie hinter ChatGPT, in den Digital Humanities.

Neue Regeln zur künstlichen Intelligenz (KI): Was bedeutet das für Hochschulen?!
Die KI-Verordnung (KI-VO) ist ein Prestigeprojekt der EU. Es ist zu erwarten, dass das groß angelegte Regulierungsvorhaben die Verbreitung und den Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) in der Union und über ihre Grenzen hinaus erheblich beeinflussen wird.
In diesem Workshop wollen wir die Inhalte der KI-Verordnung, die Bezüge zum Urheber- und Datenschutzrecht, die Bezüge zu OpenData und insbesondere für (öffentliche) Hochschulen relevante Bezüge herausarbeiten.
Die Teilnehmenden sind eingeladen, vorab ggf. eigene Fragen/Fälle vorzubereiten und bei Interesse im Workshop vorzutragen.
Schwerpunkte sind:
- KI-Verordnung bzw. AI-Act (Entwurf)
- DSGVO
- UrhG

Projektdiskussion: ChatGPT & Me: Umfrageergebnisse und Implikationen – Ein Arbeitstreffen
ChatGPT und andere generative KI-Anwendungen haben den Hochschulalltag erreicht und sorgen für Unsicherheit, auch Misstrauen und Sorge. Doch wie wird generative KI tatsächlich von Studierenden eingesetzt? Wie unterscheidet sich das Nutzungsverhalten in verschiedenen Fächern? Was verändert sich dadurch für Lehrende? Im Juli 2023 haben wir im Kontext des Projekts DDLitLab (Digital and Data Literacy in Teaching Lab) eine Online-Umfrage zur Lebensrealität mit ChatGPT an der Universität Hamburg durchgeführt und erste Antworten auf diese Fragen gesammelt.
Wir stellen erste Ergebnisse aus der Umfrage vor, diskutieren diese mit den Teilnehmer:innen und laden dazu ein, die eigenen Erfahrungen aus der Lehrpraxis einzubringen. In diesem Sinne ist der Kolloquiumstermin als „Arbeitstreffen“ konzipiert, um auf der Basis der Umfrage besser zu verstehen, wie Studierenden KI nutzen. Zudem laden wir alle dazu ein, einen Schritt weiter zu denken: Was folgt aus den Ergebnissen, wie sind diese zu deuten und welche Angebote brauchen Studierende und Lehrende, um generative KI verantwortungsvoll einzusetzen?
Das Kolloquium findet online statt und sieht Kleingruppenarbeit in Breakoutsessions vor.
Den Link für die Teilnahme erhalten Sie nach Ihrer Anmeldung, welche bis zum 20. Oktober 2023 erfolgen sollte.

Public Lecture Series: Taming the Machines. A Fallibilist Approach to AI Value Alignment
This lecture series invites viewpoints from different relevant disciplines to explore how we can preserve and advance human values through the development and use of AI technologies. Key questions include: How does AI impact our fundamental social, political, and economic structures? What does it mean to lead a meaningful life in the AI age? What design and regulatory decisions should we make to ensure digital transformations are fair and sustainable?
Prof. Dr. Ibo van de Poel, Delft University of Technology, NL
Value alignment is important to ensure that AI systems remain aligned with human intentions, preferences, and values. It has been suggested that it can best be achieved by building AI systems that can track preferences or values in real-time. In my talk, I argue against this idea of real-time value alignment. First, I show that the value alignment problem is not unique to AI, but applies to any technology, thus opening up alternative strategies for attaining value alignment. Next, I argue that due to uncertainty about appropriate alignment goals, real-time value alignment may lead to harmful optimization and therefore will likely do more harm than good. Instead, it is better to base value alignment on a fallibilist epistemology, which assumes that complete certainty about the proper target of value alignment is and will remain impossible. Three alternative principles for AI value alignment are proposed: 1) adopt a fallibilist epistemology regarding the target of value alignment; 2) focus on preventing serious misalignments rather than aiming for perfect alignment; 3) retain AI systems under human control even if it comes at the cost of full value alignment.

Public Lecture Series: Taming the Machines. About 'The Human' in Artificial Intelligence
For better or worse, the revolutionary potential of AI has reached public consciousness, with a growing recognition of the ways that AI might change how we live and work together. Indeed, the fabric of society is already changing in front of our very eyes, with powerful profiteers of AI rallying behind its supposed inevitability. The AI revolution is afoot and it seems as if there is nothing that we can do about it. However, Donald Trump’s emerging alliance with Silicon Valley’s “Magnificent Seven” provides a potent reason for pause and for sustained reflection on the path we are collectively treading.
To discuss how AI, like any other technology, is part of a societal process of struggle, negotiation, and cooperation, this lecture series brings together experts from philosophy, law, and cognitive science. How are technologies like AI grounded in social processes of knowledge production, design, and innovation? What is the environmental impact of AI systems and what ecological responsibilities fall to providers, politicians, and users? What is the human rights impact of AI technologies deployed in military and security contexts? And what, to speak with Nietzsche, renders AI ‘all too human’ after all?
Join us at our “Taming the Machine” lecture series this summer term to explore with our distinguished guests these and other related questions. To get the latest updates and details how to attend the lectures, please visit http://uhh.de/inf-eit.

Public Lecture Series: Taming the Machines. AI and the Future of Work

Prof. Dr. Kate Vredenburgh, London School of Economics, GB
Current AI regulation in the EU and globally focus on trustworthiness and accountability, as seen in the AI Act and AI Liability instruments. Yet, they overlook a critical aspect: environmental sustainability. This talk addresses this gap by examining the ICT sector's significant environmental impact. AI technologies, particularly generative models like GPT-4, contribute substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption.
The talk assesses how existing and proposed regulations, including EU environmental laws and the GDPR, can be adapted to prioritize sustainability. It advocates for a comprehensive approach to sustainable AI regulation, beyond mere transparency mechanisms for disclosing AI systems' environmental footprint, as proposed in the EU AI Act. The regulatory toolkit must include co-regulation, sustainability-by-design principles, data usage restrictions, and consumption limits, potentially integrating AI into the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. This multidimensional strategy offers a blueprint that can be adapted to other high-emission technologies and infrastructures, such as block chain, the meta-verse, or data centers. Arguably, it is crucial for tackling the twin key transformations of our society: digitization and climate change mitigation.

About the speaker
Jocelyn Maclure is Full Professor of Philosophy and Jarislwosky Chair in Human Nature and Technology at McGill University. His current work addresses various topics in the philosophy of artificial intelligence and in social epistemology. In 2023, he was Mercator Visiting Professor for AI in the Human Context at the University of Bonn. His recent articles appeared in journals such as Minds & Machines, AI & Ethics, AI & Society and Digital Society. He was the president of the Quebec Ethics in Science and Technology Commission—and advisory body of the Quebec Government—from 2017 to 2024. Before turning his attention to the philosophy of AI, he published extensively in moral and political philosophy, including, with Charles Taylor, Secularism and Freedom of Conscience (Harvard University Press (2011). He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2023.
The talk explores the question of whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can truly create art, or if there is an essential “human factor” in art production. Against the background of AI’s growing capabilities, traditional concepts in art theory like authorship are reconsidered. It is argued that authorship is a necessary condition for art, while aesthetic responsibility is at least a necessary condition for authorship of artworks. Although AI can function as an aesthetic agent, it cannot bear aesthetic responsibility. Therefore, it can neither on its own nor in cooperation with humans be the author of artworks. However, AI is able to produce objects that are in their manifest properties indistinguishable from works of art, I will speak of “fake art.” It will be shown to what extent the massive occurrence of AI-generated fake art has a detrimental effect on art practice.Institutions

Public Lecture Series: Taming the Machines. Frontier AI Regulation: from Trustworthiness to Sustainability
Taming the Machines — Horizons of Artificial Intelligence. The Ethics in Information Technology Public Lecture Series
This summer‘s „Taming the Machine“ lecture series sheds light on the ethical, political, legal, and societal dimensions of Artificial Intelligence (AI).This lecture series brings together perspectives from ethics, politics, law, geography, and media studies to assess the potential for preserving and developing human values in the design, dissemination, and application of AI technologies. How does AI challenge our most fundamental social, political, and economic institutions? How can we bolster (or even improve) them in times of technological disruption? What regulations are needed to render AI environments fairer and more transparent? What needs to be done to make them more sustainable? In what sense could (and even should) we hold AI accountable?
To explore these and other related questions, this public lecture series invites distinguished international researchers to present and discuss their work. To get the latest updates and details how to attend the lectures, please visit http://uhh.de/inf-eit.

Public Lecture Series: Taming the Machines. How to Achieve Digital Sovereignty in Europe?
Prof. Dr. José van Dijck (Utrecht University, NL)
The growing dominance of two global platform ecosystems has left European countries to rely on American and Chinese digitale infrastructures. This dependency is not just affecting markets and labor relations, but is also transforming social practices, and affecting democracies. While two large ecosystems fight for information control in the global online world, the European perspective on digital infrastructures is focused on regulation rather than on building alternatives. With emerging technologies such as generative AI (ChatGPT, Bard) and geopolitical changes, the infrastructural perspective becomes more poignant. How can Europe achieve sovereignty in the digital world?
This lecture takes up two questions. First, what public values are fundamental to Europe’s platform societies? Values such as privacy, security, transparency, equality, public trust, and (institutional, professional) autonomy are important principles upon which the design of platform architectures should be based. Second, what are the responsibilities of companies, governments, and citizens in building an alternative, sustainable platform ecosystem based on those public values?
