Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is developing rapidly.
It can generate texts, images or music, automate tasks
and simplify complex processes. Its potential is huge –
in business, education, science, administration and culture. This is why
needs an open, interdisciplinary exchange: because GenKI affects almost all
areas of life and is already rapidly changing how we work, communicate
and make decisions.
However, this rapid progress is also creating tensions.
Many have great expectations, some are experiencing initial successes. At the same time,
many feel overwhelmed – companies, politicians and society. The
upheaval is coming faster than many can understand or categorize it. This
creates uncertainty – and often stagnation, where courageous action
would actually be called for.
The Generative AI Working Group aims to fill this gap. It
asks questions: What does GenKI mean for politics, the economy, social affairs, technology,
law and the environment – today and tomorrow? How can we shape development in such a way
that it benefits – and does not harm? Which stories, which
images help us to understand and deal with the technology?
Our aim is to develop new perspectives together.
We want to create comprehensible narratives that provide orientation – for
decision-makers, for organizations, for the public. Dialogue is at the heart of
: interdisciplinary, critical, open. In this way, we want to help exploit the
opportunities of GenKI – without losing sight of the risks.
