On this page we will col­lect all news about the new GAL research focus "Arti­fi­cial Intelligence"e future.

What is the research focus "Artificial Intelligence"?

The research focus "Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence" is the third research focus of the Gesell­schaft für Ange­wandte Lin­guistik (Soci­ety for Applied Lin­guist­ics) — GAL for short — along­side the research focuses "Refugees" and "Digit­al Infra­struc­tures for Applied Lin­guist­ics". In par­tic­u­lar, the inter­play between lan­guage, cul­ture and arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence will be invest­ig­ated. The research focus is also inten­ded to offer lin­guists work­ing on AI net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies and at the same time cre­ate more vis­ib­il­ity for lin­guist­ic AI research, such as con­duc­ted by Unit 1 of the RHET AI Cen­ter. The research focus is coordin­ated by Dr. Nina Kal­wa, Dr. Monika Hanaus­ka and Prof. Dr. Annette Leßmöll­mann.

The new research focus was offi­cially intro­duced on May 17th, 2024 dur­ing the Arti­fi­cial Fri­day col­loqui­um. You can read more about the intro­cu­tion here (ger­man only).
