AI, Computing & Society

Our group focuses on exploring the societal impacts, ethical considerations, and technological advancements in artificial intelligence.

Our vision

AI and computing technologies hold tremendous potential to reshape our world. At AICS, we believe that to harness this potential effectively, we must ensure these advancements are guided by ethical principles and societal needs.

The AICS (AI, Computing & Society) research group is a collaborative initiative launched by the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) and the Department of Computer Science at Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU). This program focuses on exploring the societal impacts, ethical considerations, and technological advancements in artificial intelligence. Supported by the Max Planck Society, the Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Gesundheit Rheinland-Pfalz, and RPTU, the AICS research group aims to drive responsible and inclusive innovation in AI, addressing key societal challenges of the 21st century.

We are thrilled to formally kick off the AICS initiative with an event on December 2, 2024 at the MPI-SWS campus in Kaiserslautern. The program will feature welcome addresses from prominent institutional leaders, an overview of the initiative by Krishna Gummadi, Scientific Director at MPI-SWS, and inspirational talks by distinguished experts such as Alan Mislove, Senior Associate Dean at Northeastern University, and Meeyoung Cha, Scientific Director at the Max Planck Institute for Security & Privacy. This gathering represents our commitment to fostering a collaborative environment that bridges academia, industry, and policy to advance responsible AI research.
