**Digital Humanism Summer School 2023**: Application deadline
extended to July 21, 2023
https://dighum.org/summerschool2023/
We are pleased to announce that the 2nd ACM Digital Humanism
Summer School
<https://dighum.org/summerschool2023/> will
take place from *September 4th to 8th, 2023 at TU Wien, Austria*.
*Digital Humanism* is an interdisciplinary field that examines the
complex interplay between technology and humankind with the aim of
creating a better society and improving our lives. It recognizes
that an interdisciplinary approach is necessary, breaking down
disciplinary silos and integrating humanities, social, technical,
and engineering sciences.
The Summer School focuses on topics at the *intersection of
technology, ethics, and society*. This year, there is a particular
emphasis on large language models such as ChatGPT and generative
artificial intelligence, as well as the philosophical and ethical
implications of these models and their impact on the state and
democracy. International experts will present on these subjects.
Additionally, there will be applied exercises involving generative
AI and group projects on various use cases, including AI in public
service and policy-making. These topics will be introduced by
*internationally renowned experts*, including George Metakides
(Digital Enlightenment Forum), Erich Prem (eutema and University
of Vienna), Viola Schiaffonati (Politecnico di Milano), Edward A.
Lee (UC Berkeley), Allison Stanger (Middlebury College), Paul
Timmers (Oxford University and KU Leuven), David Rolnick (McGill
University), Anna Bon (VU Amsterdam) as well as Monika
Lanzenberger (European Commission).
The Summer School primarily targets doctoral students from various
disciplines. Advanced master's students and postdocs, as well as
participants from other institutions or companies, are also warmly
welcome. No technical background is required, but the willingness
to engage with the theoretical foundations of AI and machine
learning and actively participate in practical technical
exercises, including the use of software frameworks and the
implementation of simple projects under guidance, is important.
The entire Summer School will be conducted in English.
The number of participants is around 50. A *limited number of
scholarships*, including registration fee waivers and full
scholarships, are awarded on the basis of merit and financial
need. Furthermore, ACM will provide *free 1-year memberships* for
all students attending the school. Extended *deadline for
applications is July 21st, 2023*. Please find further details

The summer school is organized by the Digital Humanism
