STRUCTURES Members Share Insights on AI Impact, Deception & Truth Quest in RUPERTO CAROLA Magazine
(Source: Heidelberg University Publishing)
The latest issue of Ruperto Carola, Heidelberg University's research magazine, explores the pressing question of artificial intelligence's impact on society and the broader themes of “Right & Wrong.” From historical deceptions to modern dilemmas like fake news and conspiracy theories, this issue presents insightful perspectives contributed by a range of researchers, including STRUCTURES members Georgia Koppe, Manfred Salmhofer, and Fred Hamprecht.
In a collaborative article, computational psychiatrist Georgia Koppe from STRUCTURESalongside her colleagues Martin Fungisai Gerchen (Biological Psychology) and Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg (Psychiatry and Psychotherapy), intricately examine the interplay between various forms of heterodox beliefs, with a focus on conspiracy theories. They shed light on their characteristics, prevalence, and potential correlations with mental health factors. In the same issue, Fred Hamprecht from STRUCTURES (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence) engages in a conversation with ChatGPT on AI ethics. In the interview “Proofs of God and Flight Paths – The Search for Universal Truths,” mathematical physicist and speaker of the STRUCTURES Cluster, Manfred Salmhofer and theologian Prof. Dr. Friederike Nüssel discuss the subjects of knowledge creation and the concept of “right”, “wrong” and universal truths in science.
The Rupert Carola research magazine appears twice a year, mainly in German with English abstracts, and addresses all members of the university, its partners in academia, politics, business and society, and, in particular, alumni, friends and an interested public in Germany and abroad. All editions are accessible via the open access publisher Heidelberg University Publishing (heiUP).
