The next Monday, June 15, starting at 5 PM, EUNIC Madrid, in collaboration with CaixaForum Madrid, presents the EUNIC Science Day, an initiative aimed at strengthening scientific communication and the visibility of research talent in Europe, with the participation of experts from seven member countries of the EUNIC network.
The program will address in a multidisciplinary way the impact of Artificial Intelligence on strategic sectors such as technology, the arts, and social sciences. After the individual presentations, there will be round tables dedicated to the rigorous analysis of the political, cultural, and ecological repercussions of new technologies. The goal is to give visibility to research excellence in Europe and to encourage multidisciplinary reflection on a technology that will define the future.
The session will be conducted in English and will have simultaneous translation into Spanish for the attending audience.
Panel I: The impact of AI on art, culture, and society, in which Peter Knees (Austria), professor of Digital Humanities at TU Wien, an expert in AI applied to music and humanized recommendation systems: AI and digital humanism: Forging a responsible digital future; Mathilde Perez (France), researcher at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Analyzes how AI-based recommendation systems can reinforce or amplify social biases: AI in social networks: how algorithms reinforce inequality; Mariann Békésy (Hungary), researcher at Óbuda University, focused on the social perception of AI and digital literacy: Attitudes towards AI in Hungary, and Călin Segal (Romania), multidisciplinary artist who uses generative systems and digital design to explore human-machine interaction: Computational anecdote.
At 5:50 PM, there will be a round table moderated by Fernando Pescador del Oso, from UPM.
After a brief 20-minute break, the next panel will begin at 6:55 PM.
Panel II: Latest technological advances in the field of AI, in which Agata M. Wijata (Poland), assistant professor at the Silesian University of Technology, focused on the application of AI and deep learning methods in the field of biomedical engineering: Under pressure: the use of AI to understand the planet’s invisible crisis; María Grandury (Switzerland), founder of SomosNLP and expert in natural language processing, focused on linguistic diversity and the reliability of AI: Natural Language Processing from a multilingual approach, and Dani Manjah (Wallonia-Brussels), postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain, specialized in AI applications in robotics and health: Learning based on Scattered Data: AI that protects privacy for affordable gene therapies. The second round table will then take place, moderated by Jesús Cerquides from CSIC. The event will conclude at 8:55 PM.
