Meeting Description:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered to be one of the greatest
opportunities and challenges of our current society. Research on AI
comes from different scientific disciplines, from the natural and
technical sciences as well as from the humanities, social sciences and
cultural sciences. Since language is of great importance in connection
with AI, AI is also turning into a linguistic research topic, which we
want to dedicate ourselves to in the colloquium “Artificial Friday”.

Language plays a role in different ways in relation to artificial
intelligence. Many AI-based systems can speak themselves, which in
turn leads to people talking to AI. Artificial intelligence is also
the subject of a large number of scientific and non-scientific debates
as a beacon of hope for the future, while simultaneously being linked
to a number of fears. Thus, artificial intelligence is talked about
again and again.

The colloquium picks up on these connections between language, culture
and artificial intelligence. On one Friday each in November, December,
January and February, two different linguistic approaches to the topic
of AI will be presented.
