Der Bielefelder Weg

Die Ergebnisse des ZiF-Workshops zu ethischen, philosophischen, medizinischen, technischen sowie partizipativen Grundlagen inklusiver KI-Systeme werden vorgestellt. Im Workshop werden die Schlüsselbegriffe Autonomie, Fähigkeit, Assistenz, Entscheiden und Handeln im Hinblick auf ihre Verwendung im Fokusbereich präzisiert. Die theoretischen Konzepte werden an exemplarischen Situationen (z. B. informed consent) veranschaulicht, um die Basis für ein interdisziplinäres Grundlagenpapier zu erarbeiten.

Evolution and randomness shape the world around us -- from the seemingly random motion of molecules to the uncertainty of financial markets. In this workshop, we will explore the interplay between evolution and randomness from multiple perspectives, spanning the natural sciences, mathematics, and economics in an interdisciplinary setting. The session will feature talks and discussions by members of the Focus Areas ANBauEn, ESyMath and QUAMU.

Das Panel fokussiert interamerikanische u. globale Ver- und Entflechtungsprozesse in sozio-politischen und ökologischen Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen. Die Tragfähigkeit des Konzepts wird paradigmatisch in Kurzbeiträgen aus den interdisziplinären Untersuchungsbereichen ‚Wissensordnungen‘ und ‚Moral Economy‘ befragt. Es diskutieren Forschende der Natur- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften, der Wissenschaftsgeschichte sowie der Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften mit Vertreter*innen von UNIVERSAL & ConGeD.

Human creativity is evident not only in the artistic realm, but also, and perhaps most significantly, in our ability to find and reflect solutions to individual and societal challenges that go beyond established routines.

The workshop is designed to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange on the nature of problem-solving strategies, as identified in such disciplines as computer science, economics, education, history, linguistics, literary and cultural studies, medicine, and sociology.

FAITH presents a session on the foundations and implications of human-AI teamwork (HAIT) in industry, society, and science. The session covers a panel discussion followed by a world café. Stakeholders from various sectors will discuss what the status quo is regarding AI agents that support us in the workplace, exploring questions related to how far these relationships can be characterised as teams as well as how the deployment of such systems can be expected to change the way we work together.

Microorganisms form complex communities that interact with plants, animals and humans (MDDW). These microbiomes contribute to differences among individuals within a species (InChange) and respond to experimental interventions. In ecology, environmental factors such as food stress and anthropogenic noise can differentially affect individuals. In biotechnology, microbiomes can be reconstructed from scratch, enabling interventions at the single-cell level. Can these approaches inform one another?

This session presents three interdisciplinary projects that are at the heart of the Focus Area REFLECT. In these projects, we analyze a) how families can develop critical thinking in using AI, b) how students evaluate the credibility of AI-generated outputs, and c) how to foster critical thinking through a video-based training intervention to be implemented in ki-campus.org. Together with guests from the Focus Area PINC, we will reflect creative solutions of critical thinking in the age of AI.

Im Roundtable werden die globalen Anfechtungen der Demokratie unter zweierlei Perspektiven diskutiert: Erstens, sind Entdemokratisierungsdynamiken auch als Entpartikularisierungen zu begreifen, oder de-partikularisieren sie vielmehr andere politische Ordnungsvorstellungen? Zweitens, setzen Entdemokratisierungdynamiken konstitutiv auf Anfechtungen bestimmter Vorstellungen politischer und sozialer Ordnung auf, oder sind solche Anfechtungen selbst kontingent?

Research at the intersection of CoIn and QUAMU examines the interconnections between inequality and uncertainty. We investigate whether inequality generates uncertainty, whether uncertainty exacerbates inequality, and how these dynamics may mutually reinforce one another over time. The research further explores whether the resulting effects are perceived as opportunities for development or as sources of tension and conflict. Finally, it considers strategies for managing these challenges.

The process of individualisation arises from interactions between individuals and their physical, biological, and social environments. While many aspects have been studied across disciplines, a full understanding requires an interdisciplinary approach. In this session, contributions from various fields highlight the diversity of the InChangE Focus Area and address questions on the topic of individualisation.

The session covers three overlapping research topics, namely using multiple mathematical representations (ESyMath/MICOS), critical thinking  in education (REFLECT Focus Area) and utilizing AI tools in teaching (FAITH Focus Area/CATS Exploration Area) in light of the shared question how the learning and teaching of mathematics can be improved through collaborative synergies in and between these areas.
