Damit verwoben sind erkenntnistheoretische, anthropologische und technikhistorische Fragestellungen, die die kritische Betrachtung von K\u00fcnstlicher Intelligenz um weitere Aspekte bereichern. Der Workshop m\u00f6chte mit einem gr\u00fcndlichen Blick auf Kontexte und Konzepte die Reichweite dieser ethischen und technikphilosophischen Perspektiven anhand verschiedener Anwendungsf\u00e4lle von K\u00fcnstlicher Intelligenz ausloten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A German language meeting report by Philipp Zimmermann, Sarah Becker and Isabel Wrobel has been published by the Journal for Technology Assessment in Theory and Practice (TATuP) <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14512\/tatup.32.2.68\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14512\/tatup.32.2.68\" target=\"_blank\">here (open access)<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/edmt-workshop.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Poster-Workshop-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Conference Programme<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/edmt-workshop.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\">Conference Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14512\/tatup.32.2.68\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14512\/tatup.32.2.68\">Meeting report (German, TATuP)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;New Philosophical Perspectives on Surveillance and Control: Beyond the Privacy versus Security Debate&#8221; (5\u20136 November 2015)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>FRIAS Junior Researcher Conference, Freiburg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scientific coordinators:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Elisa Orr\u00f9 (Centre for Security and Society and Husserl-Archive)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sebastian Volkmann (Centre for Security and Society and Husserl-Archive)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maria Grazia Porcedda (European University Institute)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference topic:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Issues of surveillance and control have been tremendously present in the media&#8217;s headlines in the past decade and many examples can be named: The debate about the deployment of body scanners at airports raised strong objections to what some people considered a \u201cvirtual strip search\u201d; the continued legal and political battle over communications data retention across Europe once again reignited after the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015; the revelation of a vast network of surveillance programmes conducted by the NSA resulted a continued debate about governmental overreach and the existence of a digital surveillance state. All these examples unveil two recurring and related features of security-orientated surveillance and control: the pervasive use of technologies able to collect personal information and the preventative, intelligence-led approach to public and national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both in and outside academia, the current debate consequently features questions mostly framed in terms of a privacy versus security dilemma or a trade-off model: in order to achieve (more) security, we have to sacrifice (a quantum of) privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is patent that the impact of large-scale surveillance measures goes far beyond security and privacy matters. On the one hand, techniques of surveillance and control are indispensable tools for exercising and generating power and for establishing social order. On the other hand, the negative effects can reach as far as threatening the very fabric of social and democratic life. This can happen, for example, by \u201cchilling\u201d the societal climate to a point where citizens refrain from taking legitimate actions in fear of negative repercussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although such aspects of surveillance and control are widely known, we are still missing a theoretical framework to fully understand their meaning and consequences. The workshop aims at bringing together leading experts and young researchers in order to discuss the implications of practices of surveillance and control for contemporary societies. We strive to identify the most promising philosophical paths to developing theoretical tools that will allow us to better understand those challenges, which are likely to shape much of the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frias.uni-freiburg.de\/downloads\/veranstaltungen\/juniorconference_orru\">Conference Programme<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frias.uni-freiburg.de\/de\/veranstaltungen\/nachwuchskonferenzen\/beyond-privacy-and-security\">Conference Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Sicherheit in einer offenen Gesellschaft: Technische, rechtliche und moralische Herausforderungen durch neue Sicherheitstechnologien&#8221; (6&nbsp;November&nbsp;2012)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>PhD-Symposium at the\u00a0Centre for Security and Society, Freiburg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organisers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lena Sophie Eckert<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sebastian Volkmann<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stefan Weidemann<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sicherheitstechnologien transformieren in zunehmendem Ma\u00dfe das Leben in unserer Gesellschaft. Die Folgen des Einsatzes von Sicherheitstechnologien f\u00fcr Individuum und \u00d6ffentlichkeit sind jedoch ambivalent zu bewerten. So verspricht etwa die automatische Auswertung digitaler Spuren in sozialen Netzwerken einerseits gr\u00f6\u00dferen Schutz (z.B. vor Amokl\u00e4ufern), andererseits k\u00f6nnen derartige Ma\u00dfnahmen schnell selbst zur Bedrohung f\u00fcr grundlegende gesellschaftliche Werte werden (z.B. f\u00fcr den Schutz der Privatsph\u00e4re) und das Fundament der offenen Gesellschaft&nbsp;schleichend aush\u00f6hlen. Diese Bedenken k\u00f6nnen zum Teil zwar durch weitere rein technische Ma\u00dfnahmen ausger\u00e4umt werden.
