The study focuses on two main areas: the weakening of the media and the emergence of "smart dictatorship." The paper examines the ways in which AI can be used to supervise, manipulate, and frustrate the media, thereby weakening its role as a check on government and corporate power. The study also explores how AI technology can be used to create an "omnidirectional monitoring" society, where individuals are constantly monitored and controlled through the use of "panopticon" techniques and "social bots". This can lead to the emergence of a "postdemocratic" society, characterized by growing inequality, dehumanization, and the manipulation of information on online media platforms. The research methodology adopted in the study is qualitative, using expert interviews with three experts who discussed the overall use of AI and its disruptive effects on democracy, such as the creation of fake news, filter bubbles, and algorithm bias. In conclusion, this research highlights the need for increased awareness and regulation of AI technology to ensure its responsible use and to protect democratic values.}, subject = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, language = {en} } @article{GarzonGilIngabireKibathi2023, author = {Garz{\´o}n Gil, Zahira and Ingabire, Noella Arlette and Kibathi, Patrick}, title = {Disruption of Africa's education systems and economic development due to overpopulation}, doi = {10.25933/opus4-2890}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:522-opus4-28909}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Education lies at the foot of economic growth and human development. However, an increase in population tends to put a strain on existing education systems, especially in Africa where most countries are characterized by slow economic development, rapid population growth rates and a median age just shy of 20 years. Due to the slow rate of economic growth, many African countries lack the financial capability to provide proper education for their ever-growing populations or even already overpopulated regions, many of which have people who have reached the appropriate school-going age. This leads to a series of disruptive impacts on the education systems resulting in a people who are poorly or improperly educated, and thus are not equipped with the necessary skills required for the vast technical, professional and ever modernizing high-skill job markets such as construction, economic and technical professions, teaching occupations and so on, all of which drive economic growth and development. Therefore, we can see that rapid population growth, if left unchecked, may lead to overpopulation scenarios which could have a negative disruptive impact on education and human development, both of which are important factors necessary for economic growth.

The question type STACK in the Moodle learning management system combined with the interactive graphics library JSXGraph has a great potential for implementation of e-learning resources addressing these skills in formative and summative settings. The authoring process of such materials is complex due to multiple markup and programming languages like HTML, LaTeX, Maxima and JavaScript (JS) being involved. The Meclib concept mitigates this complexity and allows for efficient bulk production of material with consistent appearance and user experience. The core of Meclib is a set of pre-defined JSXGraph-based objects with an interface to Maxima, such that no problem specific JS code is required at all. The present paper outlines the basic ideas of the implementation and demonstrates the approach for some typical examples of different complexity. The focus is on applications in engineering mechanics, starting from static illustrations up to an editor for free body diagrams, with rich adaptive formative feedback.}, language = {en} } @article{GoschinVogelFlassig2022, author = {Goschin, Tobias and Vogel, Mathias and Flassig, Robert}, title = {Energy Technologies For Decarbonizing The Steel Processing Industry - A Numerical Study}, series = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, volume = {55}, journal = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, number = {9}, publisher = {Elsevier}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This study analyzes approaches to decarbonize the energy supply of the secondary steel processing industry.
