The Blockseminar offers an immersive experience for students to delve into the practical aspects of AI ethics within the context of Smart Cities, by focusing on an existing collaborative project with Klinikum Bamberg. This project focuses on developing an AI Ethical Decider tailored for Spontaneous Breathing Trials in Intensive Care Unit patients, who are on mechanical ventilation.
The seminar begins with an introductory session on the prevailing ethical issues in AI applications specific to Smart City environments (Monday). This is followed by a series of sessions at Klinikum Bamberg (Tuesday and Thursday), interwoven with sessions of discussion and hands-on implementation at UniBamberg (Wednesday and Friday).
The primary objectives are threefold: 1. To equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the real-world challenges in AI ethics, especially in the context of a city s digital transformation; 2. To expose students to the synergies between healthcare systems and AI research, fostering an interdisciplinary approach; 3. To provide tools and resources enabling students to contribute to this cross-disciplinary initiative.
Additionally, the Blockseminar aims to ignite student interest in further engagement with this project, e.g. in the form of Master theses or Hiwi.
