Lecture Series: Philosophy of Science and Machine Learning
Lecture Series der DFG-geförderten Emmy Noether Group UDNN: Scientific Understanding and Deep Neural Networks
Description
In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming science, it becomes increasingly important to reflect critically on the foundations, methodologies, and implications of these advancements. This lecture series will investigate fundamental issues in AI from the vantage point of philosophy of science, which includes topics such as the transparency and interpretability of AI within scientific research, or the impact of AI on scientific understanding and explanation.
This lecture series is a special edition of the AI Colloquium at TU Dortmund University, coorganized by the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, the Research Center Trustworthy Data Science and Security (RC Trust), and the Center for Data Science & Simulation at TU Dortmund University (DoDas). The Lecture Series is organized by the Emmy Noether Group „UDNN: Scientific Understanding and Deep Neural Networks”, and generously funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG; grant 508844757).
