Wie bestimmen „Big Data“ unser Leben, unsere Identität und unsere Gesellschaft? - eine aktive Auseinandersetzung mit den Chancen und Risiken der digitalen Welt.

+ Wie beeinflussen Algorithmen unsere Identität?
+ Wie behalten wir in dieser digitalisierten Welt die Kontrolle über unsere Mediennutzung und Daten?
+ Wie beeinflusst die massenhafte Sammlung von Daten unser tägliches Leben?
+ Und warum kann künstliche Intelligenz diskriminieren?

How does ‘big data’ determine our lives, our identity and our society? – an active exploration of the opportunities and risks of the digital world.

Smartphones and laptops have long since become constant companions in our everyday lives. With the Internet of Things – voice assistants like Alexa, smartwatches, smart rings or even high-tech glasses like Google Glass – more and more technologies are being added, changing our lives and work even more than before.

The digital world offers countless opportunities but also new challenges:

• How do algorithms influence our identity?
• How do we retain control over our media usage and data in this digitalised world?
• How does the mass collection of data influence our daily life?
• And why can artificial intelligence discriminate?

In this 6-day seminar, we take a critical look at digitalisation. Together, we will immerse ourselves into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and focus on an interactive and practical approach with our augmented reality game Canvas City. Digitalisation and all its facets – from algorithmic decision-making to smart cities and digitalised forms of work – will be made tangible and understandable.

We will then take an in-depth look at the role of digital platforms and media, examine the impact of social media on our everyday lives and discuss the challenges posed by fake news and hate online. Together, we will discuss, experiment and develop creative solutions for a digital future that promotes diversity and justice.

Topics covered:

• Social Media
  How does social media change the culture of communication in our societies? Within this topic, we explore online phenomena such as fake news, hate speech, and the political influence of social media.
• Digital Identity
  We examine the digital traces we leave behind on the internet and how they shape our digital identity.
• Big Data and Algorithmic Discrimination
  What opportunities and challenges arise for our societies from the mass collection of data? And what are the consequences when the algorithms analyzing this data are biased?
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  As part of this topic, we will visit an exhibition at the Museum of Communication in Frankfurt and reflect on the advantages and disadvantages that AI can bring to our lives.
• Smart Cities, Internet of Things, and the Digitalization of Work
  Digitalization has a direct impact on our daily lives. Let’s explore the digital present and discuss the possible futures — both the ones we fear and the ones we hope for.
• Digitalization, E-Participation, and Democracy
  We will also ask whether our digital future will be more democratic or whether digitalization is reinforcing authoritarian tendencies.
