Her focus is primarily on the contribution of computer science to dealing with societal complexity as well as the social consequences and ethical issues of digitalisation. In doing so, Zweig explores and tests the heuristic and transformative power of computer science in perceiving and dealing with complex social, medical, political, legal and economic problems, as well as the social impacts of using AI systems.<\/p>\n

In the prize colloquium<\/a> before the award ceremony, Prof. Katharina Zweig spoke in her lecture on the topic “Zeitalter der KI \u2013 Zeitalter der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften?” (Age of AI – Age of Humanities and Social Sciences?). In addition, Prof. Dr. Jochen Steil (Computer Science, TU Braunschweig), Prof. Dr. Karen Joisten (Philosophy, TU Kaiserslautern) and Lukas Brand (Theology, TU Bochum) spoke about the relationship between humans and machines from an interdisciplinary perspective. The award colloquium can be viewed on the YouTube channel<\/a> of the Landeskirche Braunschweig.<\/p>\n

The Abt Jerusalem Prize<\/h3>\n

With the Abt Jerusalem Prize, the organisers have been honouring outstanding scientific contributions to the dialogue between the humanities, natural sciences and technical sciences since 2009. It is endowed with 5,000 euros. The prize is named after Friedrich Wilhelm Jerusalem (1709 to 1789), who as Abbot of Riddagshausen was a co-founder of the Collegium Carolinum, from which TU Braunschweig grew. Abbot Jerusalem is regarded as a pioneer of an enlightened relationship between faith and reason. The Evangelische Akademie der Landeskirche Braunschweig, which is responsible for the award ceremony, also bears his name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
