Virtual All of Us - Hybrid Social VR with Avatars and AIs

Tomorrows cyberspace will connect humans and AIs in social encounters not experienced today. Hybrid social virtual worlds populated with lifelike virtual avatars and agents will significantly blur the borders between the real and the digital realm. What is real? Who is real? This talk will highlight current approaches to embodied virtual humans, the impact of a realistic human-like appearance, and the role AI plays in the development as well as in potential applications of this technology.

Ethische und rechtliche Fragen im Zusammenhang mit Künstlicher Intelligenz

Künstliche Intelligenz dringt in immer mehr Bereiche unseres Lebens vor. Dabei stellen sich vermehrt Rechtsfragen: Wer trägt die Verantwortung für von Künstlicher Intelligenz hervorgerufene Schäden? Kann KI geistiges Eigentum generieren, und wem steht es zu? Reichen unsere Strafvorschriften aus, um sozialschädliche Verhaltensweisen in virtuellen Welten angemessen zu erfassen? Diese und andere Fragen sollen analysiert und beantwortet werden.
