The human-centric digital world from an ethical angle: A look at University of Tübingen’s independent publications output
In parallel with WeNet, our partner University of Tübingen conducted their very own explorations on the theme of a human-centric digital future, covering internet and Artificial Intelligence in relation to diversity and discrimination issues, from their specific ethics-driven standpoint.
Although the publications we look back at in this article weren’t released under the WeNet umbrella, their focus is very much in line with the project’s areas of interest and represent a relevant body of work to delve into for anybody interested in WeNet’s activities – Curious to dig deep? All details can be found here below.
