Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

While human cognitive processes are highly successful from an evolutionary perspective, their development has not sufficiently prepared us for the global challenges that our society currently faces from climate change to political polarization and the multifaceted impacts of artificial intelligence. In the lecture series "Future Thinking," researchers from various faculties at the University of Vienna present pressing societal issues and discuss how individual and collective cognitive processes must develop at all levels to tackle the significant societal challenges of our time.

The topics of the seven lectures are:

1. Tuesday, October 8, 18:30-20:00: Future Thinking: An Introduction (Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Moritz Grosse-Wentrup)
2. Tuesday, October 22, 18:30-20:00: Predictive Thinking: How Does Our Brain Think? (Priv.-Doz. Dr. Ronald Sladky)
3. Tuesday, November 5, 18:30-20:00: Artificial Thinking: How Does an Artificial Intelligence Think? (Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Moritz Grosse-Wentrup)
4. Tuesday, November 19, 18:30-20:00: Chatbot Thinking: How Language (Does Not) Help Us Think (Univ.-Prof. Dr. Jutta L. Mueller)
5. Tuesday, December 3, 18:30-20:00: Neurodivergent Thinking: The Diversity of Thinking (Assoz. Prof. Dr. Giorgia Silani)
6. Tuesday, December 17, 18:30-20:00: Political Thinking: What Role Do Emotions Play in Politics? (Univ.-Prof. Dr. Sophie Lecheler)
7. Tuesday, January 7, 18:30-20:00: Cultural Thinking: Why Are Movies Getting Dumber? (Dr. Mauricio Martins)
