Taming the Machines

The Philosophy, Ethics and Politics of AI

This semester, the Taming the Machines lecture series explores the sites and settings of digital transformations, addressing the foundations of AI, the entanglement of technology and science, as well as implications for our access to the world and to ourselves. It ranges from a furthered examination of algorithms and their societal effects to the manifold faces of digital capitalism and a critical theory of this digital constellation.
