Open Lecture Series | AI, Ethics, and Bias: Shaping the Future of Technology
Welcome to the Ulysseus Open Online Lecture Series!
In just 30 minutes, gain valuable insights and practical perspectives in an engaging, online format.
In this lecture, Belén Vega Marquez will highlight the critical necessity of integrating ethical frameworks into the rapid evolution of modern technology and Artificial Intelligence.
It explores how AI has become the primary driver of innovation, now outperforming humans in complex tasks like language and image recognition, while simultaneously warning of the risks associated with its immense power, such as misinformation, privacy breaches, and the lack of oversight in autonomous systems. A significant portion of the talk focuses on the challenge of bias, noting that technology often inherits the prejudices of its human creators, which can lead to social inequities.
Ultimately, the session serves as a call to action for individuals and society to prioritize ethical technologies and make conscious choices to ensure that technological progress effectively changes the world for the better.

Webinar: Experimenting for Sustainability - Teaching Hacks for your Seminars
With our teaching we want to prepare students to tackle the key challenges of our time. For being able to create sustainable futures, different skills and capabilities are needed - which can be learned best in interactive and experimental settings. The webinar introduces two examples that can inspire your teaching and can be transferred to your own seminars/lectures easily. The first example will give insight into the inter- and transdisciplinary teaching experiment “Diversity Lab” that was conducted at the University of Münster. The second bite of inspiration introduces "TheWEEK", which is a film-based exchange setting to deal with the central challenges of our time.
