Ethics and KI: Mensch-Machine discussion in Dresden on June 12th!

An exciting event is imminent that dives deep into the topic of artificial intelligence (AI), faith and humanity. Under the title "Man-Machine-God. Artificial Intelligence and their Ethical Challenges", an interdisciplinary discussion will be held on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. [Bistum-dresden-meissen.de] (https://www.bistum-dresden-meissen.de/aktuelles/kuenstliche-intelligenz-glaube-und- and-Interdisziplinaerer-evening-in-Dresden) reports: Professor Dr. Ahmad Milad Karimi, a renowned Islamic theologian from Münster, and Lars Marcel Braun, a well -known opera director from Dresden.

The heart of the discussion is the upcoming science fiction opera "Humanoid" by Leonard Evers, which celebrates its premiere on June 13, 2025 at the Dresden Semperoper. In this opera, the story of a programmer is told who creates a human -like Androidin - a project that raises far -reaching questions about humanity, control and the relationship between man and machine. Central question: "Who masters whom?"

philosophical and ethical arguments

Here the leading role of the event comes into play. Lars Marcel Braun will give an insight into the artistic examination of the human-machine relationship, while Prof. Dr. Karimi reflects the philosophical-theological dimension of AI, in particular its influence on spirituality, religion and transcendence. This discussion also addresses the need for a new theology and ethics that adapts to the rapid technological developments.

The German Ethics Council has already examined the effects of digital technologies and AI on our self -image in a comprehensive examination. In his report "People and Machine - Challenges through Artificial Intelligence" (2020), the central question was particularly raised whether AI strengthens or reduced human authors and responsible action. [ethikrat.org] (https://www.ethikrat.org/paltikungen/staltungen/mensch-und- machine) emphasizes that the use of AI is both opportunities and risks, especially with regard to social justice and balance of power.

art, ethics and responsibility

In this context, the ethical view of the German Ethics Council shows that AI should not replace humans, but rather support their development. Alena Buyx, the chairwoman of the Ethics Council, emphasizes that human abilities such as intelligence and responsibility cannot be replaced by AI. The complex interactions between people and technology require a deeper examination of the topic. According to the report, various areas of application of AI such as medicine, education, public communication and administration are necessary in order to discuss these topics comprehensively [Zeit.de] (https://www.zeit.de/sgesellschaft/zizeißehen/2023-03/deutscher ethikrat-kuenstliche-intelligenz-Recommunications.
