China's digital surveillance (lecture)
In hardly any other country is digital control advancing as rapidly as in the People's Republic of China. Artificial intelligence has long since become more than just a technical tool, but a political instrument. The lecture will shed light on the interplay between facial recognition, big data and the "Social Credit System", a digital evaluation system that records, classifies - and sanctions - the behavior of citizens. What is behind this system? How does it work in practice? And what does it mean for freedom, society and international politics? - Registration required.
