17.00 – 18.00 Ethical Aspects of the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Prof. Dr. Ivan Bratko, Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics, UL Prof. Bratko is the founder of artificial intelligence in Slovenia and one of the pioneers of machine learning at international level. His scientific contributions cover areas such as machine learning, logic programming and applications of AI in medicine and robotics. Prof. Bratko is the author of numerous scientific publications and has had a significant impact on the development of artificial intelligence at home and abroad.
In his lecture, Prof. Dr. Ivan Bratko will address key issues that have arisen due to the ubiquity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our daily lives. With the technical advances of the last decade and their impact on everyday life, important ethical and socially relevant issues have emerged. These include the potential for AI to manipulate humans, the impact on democratic processes, the misuse of personal data, the incomprehensibility of some AI approaches, bias and the use of AI in autonomous weapons. Prof. Bratko will explore these issues and present general initiatives and proposals to address these challenges. The lecture will offer insights into the complex ethical dilemmas we face in an era of rapid AI development.
18.30 – 19.30 Ethics and AI
Dr Eleanor Drage from the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Cambridge will present her perspective on the impact of technology on society.

The District Court of Hamburg ruled in the case of Kneschke v. LAION e.V. that LAION did not infringe the copyright of photographer Kneschke, as the use of his photograph was covered by the exception for text and data mining (TDM) for scientific purposes.
“Can copyright bring artificial intelligence to its knees? Which other circumstances may cause that the “making” of generative AI can dramatically change in the (near) future. This short paper presents potential challenges that copyright poses to the training of the machines on large amount of data. Different jurisdictions address these issues differently. In the USA the legality of these activities is tested in several court cases. Do gentlemen’s agreements and pragmatic symbiosis known from the “search engines business model” provide sufficient basis and/or incentive for the business model of “making” generative AI business model as well?
