Program

As a part of Paderborn University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, the scientific convention “Data Society. Opportunity – Responsibility – Innovation”, which addresses the digital transformation of our society, will take place from 20 to 22 September 2022. The event focuses particularly on the wide-ranging challenges and opportunities associated with the use of artificial intelligence, the ethical questions that arise with the emergence of the “digitalisation century” and the impact of digital transformation on the world of (paid) employment.

The keynote guest speakers are Prof. Dr. Susanne Boll-Westermann (University of Oldenburg), Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzmüller (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences & Humanities) and Prof. Dr. Sarah Spiekermann-Hoff (Vienna University of Economics & Business).

A particular highlight will be the evening event in the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum on Wednesday, 21 September 2022.
