Various forms of artificial intelligence are increasingly finding their way into our digitally networked everyday lives. But what consequences do the increasing automation of communication and automated media have for society? This will be discussed by communication and media researchers at the 68th annual conference of the German Communication Association (DGPuK) in Bremen.

Algorithms and Facial Recognition

Two keynotes by the Italian sociologist Prof. Dr. Elena Esposito and the Australian media researcher Prof. Dr. Mark Andrejevic promise important insights into the fundamental role of algorithms and the social impact of widely applied facial recognition. In addition, in more than 80 presentations, researchers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland will present the latest findings on digital transformation. More than a dozen innovative formats will provide an opportunity for a particularly fruitful exchange between academics and practitioners on the challenges and opportunities presented by the transformation of communication and media.
The media are cordially invited to attend and cover the conference. Media accreditation can be requested – even at short notice – by sending an email to dgpuk23protect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de
