Autonomie + Algorithmen

AI is increasingly shaping our everyday lives—but how much is it actually influencing our autonomy? Dr Christiane Attig and Prof Benjamin Paaßen dive into the hidden world of AI systems. Through conversations with leading experts, they reveal how AI is redefining our freedom and what challenges it brings. A thought-provoking look at the invisible algorithms steering our lives and how we can navigate this new reality. Supported by the BMBF.
Inspired by Friedrich Moser’s film How to Build a Truth Engine, Christiane and Benjamin explore the intersection of AI and disinformation.
