Lehrinhalte
During the course of this seminar advanced theories and subjects from the field of "Science and Technology for Peace and Security" (PEASEC) will be developed. Based on the introduction and repetition of the principles in scientific research, contemporary project topics which are related to PEASEC research will be offered by us and addressed by students applying scientific methods. During the semester scientific articles ("papers") will be developed and presented. As usual in scientific work, students will constructively review each others work in a peer-review process. Subsequently, the papers will be revised for the finalization and submission.
EXEMPLARY THEMATIC AREAS
- Responsibility and ethics in computer science (guidelines of the Association for Information Science (GI)/ Association for Computing Machinery/Association of German Engineers), practical role of ethics in computer science)
- Responsibility in design (responsible research and innovation, value-sensitive design, technological impact assessment, dual-use-assessment, ELSI-design)
- Privacy, data protection and surveillance
- Critical computer science (power structures, values, political dimensions)
- Autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and responsibility
- Peace, security, military technology and dual-use
- Diversity in computer science (accessibility, disability, gender, aging, culture)
- Language: propaganda, fake news, trolling and hate speech
- Transparency, explainable AI, white box algorithms, fair algorithms, controllability
Topics for the current semester are available at www.peasec.de/lehre
PROCEDURE:
- Technical introduction including the presentation and assignment of topics
- Writing and submitting a short exposé
- Methodological lecture
- Short presentation of the own topic and constructive feedback
- Submission of a first complete version of the paper
- Assessment within a students peer-review process
- Final submission of the paper
- Grading
A mandatory introduction ("kick-off") is the first date, the mandatory methodological lecture is the second date. The assignment of topics and formation of groups will take place collaboratively during the kickoff and, if necessary, in the following week.
Voraussetzungen
Recommended: Principles in one of the subjects: Computer Science, IT-Security, Human-Computer-Interaction or Peace and Conflict Studies; basic knowledge in the topics of PEASEC
