With: Prof. Dr. Genia Kostka
Moderator: Katja Weber

Fri, 29 May, 6:30–7:30 p.m.
Humboldt Lab at the Humboldt Forum

Artificial intelligence is changing not only markets and technologies, but also state power structures. From automated administrative decisions to data-based security control: algorithmic systems are increasingly intervening in political processes.

In the first Short Talk in the series “Democracy between Freedom and Algorithms,” Genia Kostka talks to Katja Weber about the consequences of this development for liberal democracies. While authoritarian systems use AI specifically for stabilization, democratic societies are grappling with issues of transparency, accountability, and legitimacy.

Are we facing a new phase of algorithmic governance? Or does AI also open up opportunities for more efficient and fairer political control?

A conversation about power, control, and the future of democratic order. 

The event organised by the SCRIPTS Cluster of Excellence at the Humboldt Lab is taking place with the kind support of Humboldt- Universität zu Berlin.

Please note: The event will take place in German.
