Student event

Responsible AI in practice

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ben Bariach from Google DeepMind had to cancel his participation in the event. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we are pleased that Torsten Berge, who leads the Algorithm & AI Assurance practice at Deloitte Germany, has agreed to discuss responsible AI implementation with us instead, on short notice.

This event will provide an exploration of responsible AI implementation, offering insights into how responsible AI works in the tech industry. Delving into recent generative AI trends, the presentation includes an overview of the industry's current landscape. The discussion also addresses the connection between AI safety and AI for Social Good initiatives, both aiming to ensure human-centered AI. We will also present how AI safety work occurs in practice in AI labs, aimed at ensuring that AI technologies are safe and aligned with human interests.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Questions about Torsten's career path and (policy) career opportunities within this sector and Deloitte in particular are also welcome toward the end of the Q&A.

Prof. Joanna Bryson (Centre for Digital Governance) will moderate the event. This event is hosted by the Centre for Digital Governance at the Hertie School.

Prior registration is mandatory for the event. The MS Teams link will be sent to registered guests on the day of the event.
