As part of the event “Who Is Making Generative AI the ‘Inevitable’ Technology of the Future?”, ZeMKI member Prof. Dr. Christian Katzenbach will give a presentation in English on the social and political shaping of generative AI.
This lecture examines the development of generative AI as a sociotechnical phenomenon. Using the AI strategies of the United States, China, and Germany as examples, it demonstrates how industry, politics, and civil society often promote the same narratives of progress and competition despite their differing interests. The lecture also explores controversies surrounding generative AI and its future.
When? July 2, 2026, 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Where? Weizenbaum Institute Berlin & online via Zoom
