Encoding Cultures: Manuela Lenzen | The new Summer of Artificial Intelligence

Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the way with which we think and act. They give an idea of the fundamental changes that will affect our society in the coming years. The interdisciplinary symposium »Encoding Cultures. Living Amongst Intelligent Machines« brought scientists, programmers and developers, cultural theorists and artists into dialogue with a broader public. The lectures and discussions provide insight into the latest state of research and development in the field of machine learning and ask about the current and long-term effects of this technology on science, business, politics, art and society.

Manuela Lenzen studied philosophy, history, political science and ethnology at the universities of Bochum and Bielefeld and received her doctorate in philosophy. She is a freelance science journalist and author of non-fiction books as well as a research assistant at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) at Bielefeld University.
