History of Computing: Epistemology of Artificial Intelligence (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Anna-Marie Rönsch
Termin:
14-täglich | Donnerstag | 09:45 - 13:15 | 13.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | HMS 139
Inhalt: In this course, we will critically examine the "hype" surrounding artificial intelligence by asking the following questions: What do we mean by artificial intelligence? What is artificial about it? What does intelligence mean, and how have these meanings changed over time? We will combine perspectives from the 1950s to the 1980s with current views to examine the different stages in the history of AI, from "thinking machines" to symbolic AI to large language models such as ChatGPT. In doing so, we will continually reflect on the (material) infrastructure used for these systems, the exploitative practices that affect humans and our environment as well as the political interest and neo-colonial ideologies that underlie them.

BA Colloquium (Kolloquium)
Dozent/in: Jan Müggenburg, Anna-Marie Rönsch
Termin:
Einzeltermin | Do, 11.06.2026, 14:00 - Do, 11.06.2026, 19:00 | HMS 139
Einzeltermin | Do, 18.06.2026, 14:00 - Do, 18.06.2026, 19:00 | HMS 231/232
Inhalt: In this colloquium, we focus on forming an exciting and answerable research question for a BA thesis. We look at the relationship between formulating a hypothesis and subsequently identifying methods to guide the inquiry. The colloquium is a process of discovery best conducted with peers. The study of Digital Culture increasingly calls for interdisciplinary methods – you have a considerable amount of latitude in terms of your topic and methods. This disciplinary latitude means that choosing a topic narrow enough to answer in a BA thesis is critical. For this reason, much of the feedback given in the initial stages amounts to “be more specific.” Accordingly, you will get the most out of this colloquium if you arrive with a clearly defined topic. You have to know the boundaries (e.g., a time frame, geographic area, demographics).
