KI:Text

When artificial intelligence (AI) can generate texts, what does that say about what a text is? How do texts written by humans differ from those generated by AI? What expectations, fears, and hopes do scientists have when AI-generated texts are received and recognized in their discourses, especially when authorship and originality can no longer be clearly defined? How does the work with sources change, and what consequences does this have for the criteria of scientific writing and the understanding of science as a whole? What opportunities, limitations, and risks do AI text generators present from the perspective of technology ethics and technology assessment? And what criteria should be applied for an ethically conscious use of AI text generators in the educational context? These and similar questions highlight the complexity and significance of the challenge posed by the ever-growing and increasingly taken-for-granted use of AI text generators for future work with and on texts. This reveals issues that address a wide range of disciplines, whose specific discourses are explored in this volume. The conference proceedings are based on the conference "AI - Text and Validity," held in August 2023. How do AI text generators change scientific discourses?.
