2024 Theme: Sustainability and politics of AI

As AI technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace, it's crucial to 
understand their long-term impact on sustainability and political 
matters to ensure they benefit society as a whole. Since AI has the 
power to reshape industries, economies, culture, and social structures, 
integrating sustainability and ethical governance into the core of AI 
development and implementation is essential. The DAHSS24 framework will 
explore key issues, including the cultural and environmental impact of 
AI technologies, ethical considerations in AI development, and the 
governance frameworks required to regulate these advancements. 
Consequently, the DAHSS24 will focus on the pivotal question: How can AI 
be governed globally to enhance transparency, sustainability, fairness, 
and accountability? Additionally, it will examine how the fields of 
Digital Art History and Digital Humanities at large can contribute to 
these objectives. The sessions aim to stimulate insightful discussions 
and provide critical insights while participants learn technical skills 
and discuss computational methodologies.  By the end of this workshop, 
participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay 
between technology, sustainability and politics, and be equipped with 
the knowledge to advocate for responsible AI development.

The course is organized around tracks. Each participant can only join 
one of the tracks. During your application, you should select the tracks
