Künstliche Intelligenz eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten für die Bildende Kunst, aber stellt auch vieles infrage. Braucht es noch Menschen, um Kunst zu schaffen, oder helfen selbstlernende Systeme beim Kreativprozess?
A conversation with Helena Mihaljević – on maths, boxing and chess, and the gender gap in science. Our summer break episode is a special one: Helena Mihaljević, mathematician and professor for computer science, talks about her fascination for math, chess and boxing; about her migration history; about training data that are so deeply rooted in our culture and history. Helena elaborates why math is not neutral, how she experiences improvements in the tech industry, and her involvement in an ongoing study of the gender gap in different sciences and regions. Listen to our conversation on how to empower young women to be confident in tech jobs, and how we should have tech companies and technology audits that are contextual and participative, carried out together with advocacy organizations and researchers.
