The Bright and Dark Sides of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Its Potential Solutions
The Bright and Dark Sides of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Its Potential Solutions
Wednesday, 9 July 2025: 15:00-16:45
Location: FSE036 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
WG10 Digital Sociology (host committee) Language: English
Digital footprints are formed through active content creation, passive participation, and platform-generated data. Any part of our existence is transformed into information and distributed as a new form of value. Studies reveal that different socioeconomic groups may have systematic benefits or disadvantages as a result of their digital footprints.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses digital footprints to duplicate human tasks and cognitive processes. It uses machine learning (ML) to achieve optimal behaviors or logical reasoning.
The session invites critical algorithmic papers that address questions such as:
Can AI overcome marginalization, and exclusion of minority groups or people from low socioeconomic backgrounds? Why and how are AI systems producing bias, which may undermine digital equity? What opportunities do AI systems have to contribute to social good and solve societal problems? Can different AI governance acts (e.g., the EU AI Act) improve the interaction between humans and AI systems?
The format of the session is regular session.
