Vortrag: Policy Impact: From AI Regulation to Academic Inclusion

Pranav A (NLP & AI Ethics, University of Hamburg): Policy Impact: From AI Regulation to Academic Inclusion

This talk examines how policies affect people across multiple domains. I analyze surveillance loopholes in the EU AI Act introduced by German regulators that potentially compromise civil liberties. The discussion then critiques academic name change policies that create unnecessary barriers for transgender and queer scholars. Finally, I evaluate academic publishing frameworks that exclude underrepresented communities and propose practical reforms to create more equitable spaces. Throughout, I demonstrate how seemingly neutral policies can cause harm when developed without input from marginalized communities.

Die Vorträge in englischer Sprache finden freitags von 12 bis 13 Uhr in Gebäude E1 7 (Raum 3.23) statt.
