On four Fri­days in the winter term, we will delve into cur­rent research top­ics in arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence. In this sixth round of Arti­fi­cial Fri­day, the focus is once again on lin­guist­ic per­spect­ives: lec­tures and dis­cus­sions will explore the rela­tion­ship between lan­guage and AI, par­tic­u­larly how AI influ­ences our lin­guist­ic inter­ac­tions and com­mu­nic­a­tion. At each of the four ses­sions, two experts from the fields of lin­guist­ics, AI research or related areas will present sci­entif­ic lectures. 

For its sixth rendi­tion, the Arti­fi­cial Fri­day turns inter­na­tion­al (again) and wel­comes research­ers from South Africa, Ire­land, Spain, Den­mark and Switzer­land. Among the speak­ers are: Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey (Durb­an), Ker­stin Fisc­her (Odense), Leah Hen­rick­son (Bris­bane), Annette Leßmöll­mann (Karls­ruhe), Bet­tina Migge (Dub­lin), Jose Belda Med­ina (Alic­ante), Helen Kelly Holmes (Lim­er­ick), and Cer­stin Mahlow (Win­ter­thur).

The lec­tures will take place online via Zoom and the event lan­guage is eng­lish. Par­ti­cip­a­tion is free of charge, and ques­tions and dis­cus­sions are warmly encour­aged, offer­ing par­ti­cipants a chance to dive deep­er into the topics.
