The AI-Humanity-Society workshop is a two-part workshop: starting with an online session on 16 January 2025 at 2 p.m. CET/3 p.m. IST and followed by a funded 3-day in-person meeting from 17 to 19 March 2025, designed specifically for early-career researchers from LMU Munich and TAU. The selection of candidates has been completed.
The first workshop in this series was held at LMU Munich in December 2022 and co-organized by the German Israeli Foundation. More than 20 young researchers from LMU Munich and Tel Aviv University participated in this interdisciplinary workshop. Young Scientists and PhD candidates from the social sciences, humanities, business, law as well as computer sciences shared their research projects and jointly raised new research questions in the fields of decision-making processes, education and learning, and public policy, to name only a few.
