The interdisciplinary summer school "Neural Networks, Manipulation and Ethics" will explore the neuroethical connections between AI and humans and their decision making. By combining normative frameworks of manipulation, free will and responsibility with concepts of AI ethics, and by considering the impact of AI in different areas of human life, the aim is an understanding of manipulation, manipulability and the challenges posed by AI, as well as possible solutions. In keynotes and workshops, participants will learn about the philosophical, neuroscientific and ethical dimensions of the manipulation and manipulability of AI and humans. The Summer School will also feature a ideathon, where participants will work closely with leading companies from Germany in the field of neuroscience and AI. They will tackle current ethical challenges in technology development and present their ideas at the end of the Summer School.

Numerous studies have shown that AI reflects societal structures and often reinforces existing inequalities. The Sportlight Discussion "Invisible Women - Gender Bias and the Future of Feminist AI" will explore the origins and impact of gender bias in AI systems and examine how feminist perspectives can help mitigate these biases. The event begins with a 30-minute guided tour of the exhibition 'Her mit den Portr[AI]ts!'. Following the tour, the spotlight discussion will feature three 10-minute talks by Eva Maria Hille (Department of (Social) Ethics), Hannah Greß (Workgroup Personalized Digital Health and Telemedicine), and Dr. Julia Maria Mönig (Center for Science and Thought). Together, they initiated the interdisciplinary network Feminist AI at the University of Bonn, with the objective to foster critical engagement with AI and strenghthen the visibility of female researchers. Following the talks, an open discussion will be held.
