Military AI is advancing fast, but are we ready for the risks? Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS) can make decisions without human input, and while they offer military advantages, they also bring serious dangers like misalignment and accidents. RTH Member Natasha Karner is currently researching the ethical questions of the us of AWS as well as AI integrated weapons. Today we're highlight the key points of her article, which you also access: https://lnkd.in/egkb6xFq We believe that global cooperation and regulations are needed to prevent AI from escalating conflicts. Let’s think critically about how we regulate AI in warfare to ensure a safer future. What are your thoughts on AI’s role in the military?

🌍 Exploring Intersectionality in Immersive Realities: Recap from Our World Café Discussion Does Intersectionality even matter for Immersive #Tech? 🔍 Identity in Immersive Realities (IR) In immersive worlds, identity can extend beyond avatars. It’s not just about how users create their visual representation but also how movements and interactions shape who they are. 🔍 Inclusivity through Biotech & Design Ensuring inclusivity for diverse communities—particularly marginalized groups—starts with innovative biotech solutions and better device compatibility. But, the challenge remains in balancing monetization with accessibility. The digital divide continues to be a barrier for marginalized populations. 🔍 Avatar Creation & Representation Avatars play a pivotal role in identity. The question is: when should avatars be realistic? There’s a potential for immersive identities to evolve through a mix of fantasy and reality. We explored how avatars, while enhancing self-expression, may also influence personal growth. However, users should have the freedom to define their appearance without the pressure and danger of constant "self-improvement." 🔍 Intersectional Accessibility Accessibility isn’t just a technical issue—it’s also societal. Affordability, language barriers, and differing user perspectives (e.g., height differences) challenge equitable participation in IR. Policy frameworks or societal protocols might be needed to ensure security and inclusivity in these digital spaces. Some amazing insights from our Workshop at the Immersive Reality Hackathon with TUM Think Tank, Women in AI and StellDirVor 💬 What are your thoughts? How can we further shape immersive technologies to be inclusive and accessible for all?

🕵♂️ Als ich vor zwei Jahren zum ersten Mal das #Z2XFestival von ZEIT ONLINE besuchte, war ich sofort begeistert – von den inspirierenden Panels, der großartigen Location und besonders vom engagierten Publikum: Junge Menschen im Alter von 20 bis 29 Jahren, die leidenschaftlich über die Zukunft diskutieren. Das hat Eindruck hinterlassen! 💫 Umso mehr habe ich mich gefreut dieses Jahr selbst als Speaker für das Responsible Technology Hub dabei gewesen zu sein. In der Session „Heute die KI von Morgen regeln“ durfte ich mit einem spannenden Panel über die Zukunft von vertrauenswürdiger Künstlicher Intelligenz sprechen. Ein großes Dankeschön an Jan Batzner, Dorothea Winter und Habiba S. für die anregende Diskussion. Danke auch an Jakob von Lindern für die top Moderation! Besonderer Dank gilt auch Nele Vogel und dem Z2X-Team für die Einladung und das tolle Event. Es ist inspirierend zu sehen, wie wir gemeinsam die Entwicklung von verantwortungsvoller KI vorantreiben 🚀
