T1 - Truth or Dare: Libraries in the Age of Misinformation, Filter Bubbles, AI and other New Tech T2 - Hands-on Lab / For better or for worse: can AI requirements and Libraries principles be married? (31.05.2022, 9:00 - 11:00, Seminarraum 6/7) N2 - In this hands-on lab the attendees will gain insight in the types of misinformation an internet user can come across. Ranging from on-line bullying to the algorithms with which social platforms steer their users into the arms of advertisers, influencers of a questionable kind or political agitators; and from fake news to complete deep fake, AI-generated ‘human’ beings. Jointly we will explore the various forms online, and experience how they work and manifest themselves. We will discuss the role of (public) libraries in this context. Is it enough for libraries to make their clients aware of misinformation and manipulative influencing? What is the effect it can have on their personal lives but also on the society at large? Or should the libraries take a much more activist stance and label or even ban information and algorithms that cannot be completely trusted? This workshop does not only deal with pure misinformation but also with the potential undertow of misinformation. Into which you can easily be lured and then become part of a secluded bubble. On exemplary topics the participants will find out the quantity of misinforming sources and the demarcation of trusted information resource. Take-aways from this workshop: Overview of recent developments in misinformation and counter-initiatives Awareness of the different levels at which libraries can play a role and concrete examples of what is already being done Insight in the role of AI in this Y1 - 2022 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Lison, Barbara A1 - Boekesteijn, Erik A1 - Willem, Jan A1 - Wessel, van T1 - Künstliche Intelligenz - nur eine neue technische oder auch eine ethische Herausforderung für Bibliotheken? Artificial Intelligence - Just another technical and ethical challenge for Libraries? T2 - Hands-On Lab analog / Künstliche Intelligenz – nur eine neue technische oder auch eine ethische Herausforderung für Bibliotheken? (26.05.2020, 13:00 - 14:30 Uhr, Konferenzraum 18) N2 - Die Zukunft der Bibliotheken ist ohne den Einsatz und die Nutzung von Künstlicher Intelligenz nicht zu denken. Doch mit dieser Entwicklung sind nicht nur technische und organisatorische Konsequenzen und Implikationen verbunden, sondern es müssen auch soziale und ethische Folgen bedacht werden. Wie können Bibliotheken sich hier positionieren? Welche Möglichkeiten haben sie überhaupt, diese Entwicklung zu beeinflussen oder gar zu steuern? Dieser Workshop soll sowohl das Bewusstsein für diese Fragen wecken als diese auch unter verschiedenen Aspekten beleuchten, und schließlich die Richtung für eine bibliothekspolitische Positionierung aufzeigen. Die Grundlage für die inhaltlichen Aspekte des Workshops ist die bereits erfolgte bibliothekspolitische Ausrichtung dieser Fragestellung durch die Königliche Bibliothek der Niederlande; zwei der dafür maßgeblichen Spezialisten werden den Workshop durchführen. The future of libraries cannot be imagined without the use of artificial intelligence. However, this development not only has technical and organizational consequences and implications, but also social and ethical consequences. How can libraries position themselves here? What possibilities do you have to influence or even control this development? This workshop is intended to raise awareness of these questions as well as to illuminate them from various aspects, and finally give more context to library policy around this important development of technology and its use. The basis for the content-related aspects of this workshop is the library policy with regard to this issue that is carried by the National Library of the Netherlands; two of the key specialists who have contributed to this policy will conduct the workshop. Target group: The workshop is aimed at both people whose work is related to AI, as well as at decision-makers and people in library management. Y1 - 2020 ER -
