The Osnabrück University offers every Semester a wide variety of courses in the field of Data Science. The specific orientation and focus of the course is in the hands of the responsible lecturer and of course also depends on the degree programme for which it is offered.

For example, the courses offered by Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Econometrics, Psychology, Social Research and working groups in the field of Data Science are generally more application-oriented, while the courses offered at the Institute of Mathematics tend to have a more theoretical focus.

Beschreibung

This colloquium covers advanced topics in the Ethics of AI, critical social theory of the digital society, privacy and data protection. We read recent publications in the field as well as classical texts, and debate presentations of ongoing projects. Each session will combine text-based work with extensive discussions in a 3-hour format. The colloquium is open to advanced Ph.D., MA and BA students specializing in the field, including but not limited to those who aim to write their BA/MA/Ph.D. thesis in the Ethics of AI research group.

Prerequisites: This course requires advanced knowledge in the field of Ethics of AI. New participants must have completed the "Introduction to the Ethics of AI" lecture and at least one additional seminar offered by the members of Ethics of AI research group (or equivalent classes at other universities). Interested students need to be approved to the course after sending me an email introducing themselves and their experience in the field.

In the Winter Term 2023, we will read a certain number of texts in German language and discussions in those sessions will be in German. Hence, sufficient knowledge of German is required. The next summer term will be English only again.

The course is taught in a hybrid format.
