DiSCussion: What is AI allowed to do?

Artificial intelligence (AI) can now do an amazing amount, but it also makes a lot of mistakes. The increased social use of AI applications, such as ChatGPT, is not only associated with opportunities, but also risks: When Leonardo di Caprio speaks German with the help of AI, it's funny. When words that have never been spoken are put into the mouth of a politician, not so much. So we ask: What is AI allowed to do? How can we use AI? How do we want to deal with the new possibilities?
Legal rules should set guidelines. After the USA and the G7 countries, the EU and the UK have submitted proposals on how AI development can be steered in a socially desirable direction. But can laws help, especially in the face of such a rapidly developing technology? Or do ethical and moral rules make more sense?
One thing is clear: any regulation of AI must be based on political and ethical/moral objectives: improving living conditions, preventing discrimination and election manipulation, respecting privacy and copyright protection. How can we achieve this?
After short presentations by Prof. Matthias C. Kettemann, Professor of Innovation, Theory and Philosophy of Law and Head of the Institute for the Theory and Future of Law, and Prof. Anne Siegetsleitner, Professor of Practical Philosophy and Head of the Institute of Philosophy, we would like to discuss these questions with you.
The Digital Science Center (DiSC) was founded at the beginning of 2019 with the aim of advancing the digitalization of science and taking new research directions. The DiSCussion lecture series was created to promote dialog between science and society. It is currently dedicated to the key topic of AI and is co-organized by the Office of the Vice-Rector for Digitalization and Sustainability.
