Artificial intelligence is changing our everyday lives, how we work, learn, communicate, and make decisions. With the intensive use of AI systems, the urgent question arises: How can AI be used in a way that benefits humanity and does not harm it? And who will explain to the public how these technologies work, what values they shape, and what power they wield?
Publix's new conference series, “Reporting the Machines,” brings together journalists, scientists, experts from civil society and politics, AI developers, and startup founders. Together, we discuss responsibility in the design and application of AI systems, the role of journalism in highlighting opportunities and risks, power structures, and digital sovereignty.
Funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the conference takes place within the framework of the new Publix Tech Journalism Fellowship, in cooperation with 1014 Deutschland and the MIZ Babelsberg.
