    (with Dr. Eugenia Stamboliev, Universität Wien; Sylvester Tremmel, Heise Online)

    
    Whether as a means for the automated creation of texts, for the idea generation or as an editing tool - the use of systems such as ChatGPT is increasingly characterising our communication. But who is responsible for the content produced by ChatGPT? This semester the lecture series Philosophy of Technology at the FernUniversität Hagen is focussing on agency and authorship.

    The first lecture evening of the semester is dedicated to the relationship between language and generative AI.

    This will be followed by two expert lectures and a panel debate on the topic, there will be opportunity to join in the discussion and think further together. Who speaks when an AI system generates texts? What are the consequences current technological developments in the field of large language models for concepts of authorship, linguistic action and ideal action and intellectual property? And last but not least: What ethical challenges do these developments harbour?
