Autonomie & Algorithmen
14 Jun, 2025, 3.00 PM @ Atelier Gardens
Event language: German
Algorithms ensure that nearly everything we see online is somehow tailored to us. In doing so, they subtly influence how we navigate the internet—and, consequently, what appears to us as dominant opinion, as plausible, or even as true. With filmmaker Friedrich Moser (How to Build a Truth Engine), Christiane Attig and Benjamin Paaßen discuss how these algorithms really work and what we can do to maintain our autonomy.

Autonomie + Algorithmen
As AI increasingly encroaches on our lives, how much control do we really have? Dr Christiane Attig and Prof Benjamin Paaßen reveal how AI is shaping our autonomy and how we can navigate these invisible power structures.
