We are a community of students and young professionals discussing the impact of AI & Big Data.
ConsciousCoders is based on four formats: workshops, talks, publications and our blog.
CONSCIOUSCODERS.workshop
In our workshops students and young professionals identify current challenges and explore solution approaches in a hands-on manner.
The workshops include preparation, inspiring keynote speeches and thematic deep dives in working groups.
CONSCIOUSCODERS.blog
Our aim is to offer our community insights to our work, overviews on current technology and controversial aspects we believe should be considered.
The blog also offers a way to express personal opinions for the community of ConsciousCoders.
CHANCES
AI & Big Data introduce completely new business segments and offer immense opportunities to solve global problems efficiently.
RISKS
However, limitations and risks of increasing digitalization and automated data processing need to be investigated and examined with regards to their impacts on our society.
Current Topic Groups
Algorithmic Prediction and Misuse of AI
Following projects are currently running:
The group “Algorithmic Prediction” evaluates predictive technology from different viewpoints and discusses benefits and risks from this evolving field. The project “Misuse of AI” aims at contributing to the international discussion on autonomous weapon system from a technological perspective by evaluating possible misuse of civilian technology.
