Ralf M. Haefner (University of Rochester, NY), “How we move our eyes to collect information”
MAR 2.057Abstract Collecting new information about the outside world is a key aspect of brain function. In the context of vision, we move our eyes multiple times per second to accumulate evidence about a scene. Prior studies have suggested that this process is goal-directed and close to optimal. Here, we show that this process of seeking
Berlin Summer School of Artificial Intelligence and Society
Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Berlin is currently facing numerous challenges, ranging from the modernization of public administration to the adaptation to climate change, from traffic planning to the regulation of the housing market, the implementation of an efficient health care system and creating incentives for a more sustainable lifestyle with the involvement of citizens. In this context, the effective
Berlin University Alliance’s Open Space Event on AI and Ethics (in German)
Our members Dafna Burema and Jonas Frenkel will take part at "THE OPEN KNOWLEDGE LAB" Berlin as speakers, which thrives on active exchange between science, business, politics, and urban society. The BUA OPEN SPACE salon series provides a platform for dialogue on current social issues and networking: impulses from science and subsequent discussions provide deeper
Berlin Brains – Restless gaze, stable vision: SCIoI members Martin Rolfs and Nina Hanning @Zeiss Grand Planetarium Berlin
Zeiss-Großplanetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, 10405 BerlinLive Event at Zeiss-Großplanetarium (Zeiss Grand Planetarium), Berlin with SCIoI memebers Martin Rolfs and Nina Hanning, titled "Restless gaze, stable vision: The camera work of our eyes." About: Our eyes are restless; they constantly orient themselves toward new aspects of the environment. If they were cameras, the recorded film would be dizzying. And yet our

Jörg Raisch (Science of Intelligence), “Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Consensus in Multi-Agent Systems”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Achieving consensus, i.e., agreeing on objectives and on relevant aspects of the environment, is a prerequisite whenever a group of individuals (“agents”) attempt to cooperatively solve a task. This requires information exchange between agents. In technical scenarios, information exchange is via wireless communication channels, which exhibit interference. Standard implementations aim at avoiding interference by resorting
Heiko Hamann (Uni Konstanz, SCIoI), “Introduction to collective robotics: A formal approach”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Heiko Hamann is a roboticist with focus on collective systems. With his group he studies distributed robotics, machine learning for robotics, and bio-hybrid systems. In his collaboration with SCIoI member Pawel Romanczuk he investigates collective intelligence and especially the swarm robotics aspects of “Speed-accuracy tradeoffs in distributed collective decision making.” This talk will take place
Alan Winfield (UWE Bristol), “Ethics in collective robotics”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Alan Winfield is Professor of Electronic Engineering and Director of the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England, Bristol. He conducts research in swarm robotics in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and is especially interested in robots as working models of life, evolution, intelligence, and culture. Alan is passionate about communicating science
POSTPONED: Anita Keshmirian (Forward College, Berlin), “Many minds, diverging morals: Human groups vs. AI in moral decision-making”
Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Abstract "Moral judgments are inherently social, shaped by interactions with others in everyday life. Despite this, psychological research has rarely examined the impact of social interactions on these judgments. In our study, we explored the role of group dynamics in moral decision making by having small groups (4-5 participants) evaluate moral dilemmas first individually, then
POSTPONED: Karoline Wiesner (University of Potsdam), “Introduction to complexity science: Part I”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Karoline Wiesner has been a Professor of Complexity Science at the Institute for Physics and Astronomy since 2021 and also serves as an external professor at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. She earned her Ph.D. in Physics at Uppsala University and spent her postdoctoral years at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico and the
Berlin Science Week: Science Slam of the Berlin Clusters of Excellence
Roadrunner's Paradise Saarbrücker Str. 24 10405 Berlin GermanySlammin’ like there’s no tomorrow – at our cluster science slam, researchers try everything to entertain their audience, regardless of whether the subject is e.g. mathematics, neuroscience or active material. The sky is the limit when it comes to what’s possible. Costumes, props, movies, power-point presentations or other experimental setups – it is all allowed.
