HISS: Global South Perspectives on AI |
international-office-law"AT"uni-hamburg.de |
As the world increasingly embraces the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI), the need to critically examine its implications through diverse perspectives has never been more urgent. The summer school centers on "Global South Perspectives on AI: Power, Social Justice and Opportunities for an Equitable Future." This program aims to engage German and international law students in a comprehensive exploration of how AI technologies intersect with pressing issues of power dynamics, social justice, and equity—especially through the lens of Global South countries, which face challenges and opportunities of their own in this rapidly evolving field. The relevance of this topic extends far beyond academia; it resonates deeply with contemporary societal concerns regarding inequality, representation, and ethical governance in the digital age. As AI systems increasingly influence decision-making processes across various sectors, including healthcare, education, and criminal justice, it is paramount that future legal professionals comprehend the multifaceted consequences of these technologies. By integrating perspectives from the Global South, we encourage a more inclusive dialogue that aims to identify and address the disparities that affect marginalized communities. This summer school offers a vital opportunity not only for students to broaden their understanding of AI's societal impact but also to contribute to the creation of equitable frameworks that govern technology's integration in a global context. In fostering critical discussions about AI's in shaping social structures and power relations, this program will equip students with the analytical skills necessary to advocate for justice and equity in their future careers. The summer school will contribute not only to the professional development of participants but will also lay the groundwork for a more socially responsible approach to legal practices in an increasingly digitized world. |
