A Paradigm Shift in Computer Science?

Workshop

Something is happening in Computer Science, the “new” AI based on machine learning and data is having enormous success.

Its pros and cons, as well as its impact on society, are the subject of intense public debates, including contributions from the digital humanism community.

In our workshop we will focus on the challenges for computer science and the sciences in general. We want to discuss and reflect on the possible paradigm shift in computer science, the move from logic and algorithmic certainty to probability and LLMs as story machines. This has enormous implications for many other sciences, as computer science has become a foundation of almost all scientific and applied research. We will also discuss the changing role of universities, since research increasingly shifts to large IT platforms given the resources required.

The workshop will put emphasis on debate and exchange: each slot (with a moderator) will start with an introductory lecture (30-35 minutes), followed by a panel with statements and questions by the commentators (20 minutes). Afterwards there will be an open discussion with all participants.
