Prof. Hilgendorf will participate in the lecture series "Automated Systems" at Leibniz Universität Hannover on May 24, 2022 at 5 p.m. and give a lecture entitled "Infinite Space - Science Fiction, Technology Design and Law".

The Bavarian AI Council, together with the Würzburg Research Center RobotRecht, the Würzburg Center for the Social Implications of Artificial Intelligence (SOCAI), the Würzburg Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS) and the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt), is organising a workshop on the new EU regulation on artificial intelligence on April 1st and 2nd at the "Alte Universität" in Würzburg and cordially invites all interested persons.

The Federal Government has set itself the goal of taking a pioneering role in questions of automated, in particular autonomous, driving. This is particularly evident in the context of the last two amendments to the StVG. For this very reason, it is important on the one hand to intensify research in this area and at the same time to create more trust in algorithms.

The final publication of the BMBF-funded project "Open Software Platform for Service Innovations in a Value Network in Agriculture" (ODiL), which was supported by the Forschungsstelle RobotRecht from 2016 to 2019, was recently published by Springer-Verlag.

On Friday, October 8th, 2021, the Workshop "Trust, Law and Ethics in the Digital Age", organized by the research group "RobotRecht", was held at the University of Würzburg. The event was held in English and divided into three parts and was attended by speakers from different parts of the world.

Prof. Dr. Dr. Eric Hilgendorf and the RobotLaw Research Unit cordially invite you to the symposium "People - Law - Digitalization" on the 8th of October 2021. The symposium is the result of a cooperation between the University of Würzburg and the Bamberg Higher Regional Court.

On Friday and Saturday, 17 and 18 September 2021, the RobotLaw Research Unit will hold a conference on platform crime in the digital age.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are key methodologies of our century. For the first time, AI not only digitally stores, transmits and processes data, but also understands and links its content so that decisions can be made knowledge-based and partially or fully automated.

On 29 April, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., there will be an international workshop on the regulation of autonomous driving in Germany and China, to which you are cordially invited.
