Interested journalists are cordially invited to participate in an online event on January 24, starting at 10:00 CET<\/strong>, where current topics and developments related to AI and media coverage will be discussed.<\/p>

Annette Leßmöllmann from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will talk about reporting and discourses on AI in her keynote lecture. Ulrike von Luxburg, professor for machine learning at Tübingen, will give an insight into the current state of development of machine learning and computer vision. Meik Bittkowski, Head of Research and Development at Science Media Center Germany, and Christina Elmer, Professor of Data Journalism at TU Dortmund University, will talk about application fields of AI tools in journalistic practice. Elmer will also join Cyber\u00a0Valley Public Engagement Manager Patrick Klügel to provide information about the journalism-in-residence program at Europe’s largest AI research network.<\/p>

Here is the detailed agenda for the info session and the registration link.<\/a><\/p>

The Cyber\u00a0Valley Journalist-in-Residence program will go into series in 2022. After the pilot project with data journalist Christina Elmer last year, the “AI and Journalism” program will now become a permanent part of the Cyber\u00a0Valley public engagement strategy – in close collaboration with the Center for Rhetorical Science Communication on Artificial Intelligence (RHET AI) and funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.<\/p>

Interested journalists can apply for a three- to six-month compensated residency until February 15, 2022. During this time, the journalist-in-residence can conduct research on a topic of his or her choice in an exchange with AI researchers from various disciplines – absolutely independently. Cyber\u00a0Valley explicitly does not expect any reporting on AI topics or about Cyber\u00a0Valley during this time.<\/p>
