As an EU-funded project, it is a priority for us on the topics that we edit and to explore, to inform, and to carry them into the General Public. Especially if they relate to us as an educational institution directly. In cooperation with the project "accents 4.0", that is, the challenges and opportunities of AI from the societal perspective is approaching, was a good opportunity for us.
