All EventsAI and journalism
Information event for journalists
At the same time, machine learning applications in particular lend themselves to big data research, visualization or pattern recognition. They can provide orientation in an increasingly digitized world (of science), accelerate processes and make extensive sources accessible in the first place. In this way, they enable better journalism - provided they are used sensibly and carefully.
In a joint event with TU Dortmund University, speakers from the Cluster of Excellence Machine Learning for Science, the Center for Rhetorical Science Communication Research on Artificial Intelligence (RHET AI Center), and Science Media Center Germany will provide information on background and practice.
Free registration is available until January 22, 2022 here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0qcu6srDMrGNKAw_liMRJvPeq2dcsWFVe4 (Zoom Meeting)
