Critical Data and AI Lecture
Series # 2. Generative AI: Immediacy & Origin

We are delighted to invite you to the second Critical Data and AI Lecture Series # 2 organized jointly by DALOSS, featuring a presentation by Nadja Schaetz from Hamburg University.  

In this lecture, Nadja explores how generative AI is transforming our ways of knowing, due to the loss of historical and cultural context facilitated by emergent technology. How can we make sense of knowledge that is generated from extracted data, whose origin is usually obscured? Drawing on examples in journalism and creative writing, she sheds light on political and ethical implications of the “generative turn”. 

Nadja Schaetz is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Hamburg in Germany. Her research looks at the intersection of journalism and technology, with a focus on how power and inequities shape journalism with consequences for society. Prior to her doctoral studies, Nadja worked as a research associate at the Weizenbaum Institute, Freie Universität Berlin, and Stockholm University.

Discussant: Jannie Møller Hartley, Professor in Journalism and PI of DATAPUBLICS

Coffee and tea will be served.
