Panel discussion on AI, Ethics and Anthropology with Dr. Jan Juhani Steinmann and Mag. Lukas Madl on 11 April in Salzburg
- Do AI systems challenge our understanding of the human being? Is the human being more than a biochemical machine?
- How far-reaching are the changes for societies and individuals – can we meaningfully speak of a new “technological revolution”?
- Can and should we legally regulate the use of AI systems? What could such regulation look like and where is it important?
We will hear introductory statements on these and other questions from philosopher Dr. Jan Juhani Steinmann and innovation expert Mag. Lukas Madl. We will then address current questions on the topic in the plenary session, discuss new theoretical and practical approaches and think ahead to future developments. We will conclude these thought processes with drinks and conversation.

Mag. Lukas Madl is the founder and managing director of Innovethic. As a trained geneticist and geoinformatician, he is fascinated by the ambivalence between innovation, creative freedom and the direct benefit of technical developments for people. As an expert and research partner for responsible innovation and trustworthy AI, he contributes his expertise to relevant EU regulations on AI. With Innovethic, he offers compliance courses (e.g. on the AI regulation) and ethics training. He also researches and teaches about potential dangers and problems for societies and ecosystems and advocates a responsible, trustworthy approach to technology. If it is possible to combine the pursuit of profit with ethics, everyone wins: companies and society as a whole.
