Governing Innovative Technologies: GenAI in Theory & Practice

What it is about

You will learn the challenges and regulatory approaches for Generative AI and implement them in practice. In the end you will be able to classify legal frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, US Algorithmic Accountability Act) and develop technical solutions using APIs and code, as well as visualize and present results.

What you will be able to do

• Design technical solutions for governance problems of Generative AI
• Basic understanding of the international regulatory environment for AI
• Translate academic and technical findings into visual formats
• Present scientific topics to an audience

What the module consists of

• Seminar (block format)Foundational lectures, case studies and discussions as a basis for analysis and problem solving
• Practical partWork on a real governance challenge including coding and working with APIs
• Presentation/PosterVisualization and communication of project results; practice of presentation skills

Teaching method

• Lectures and use-case presentationsConveying theoretical framework and regulatory fundamentals
• DiscussionsAnalysis, evaluation and development of solution approaches
• Project work with coding and API usagePractical development of technical solutions for identified governance problems
• Poster presentations/Short blogPractice in knowledge translation and communicative presentation of results
