Dear all,
Hope all is well.
We will have a Jour Fixe today at 10:00. [However, I understand that some of you are in easter holidays and might prefer to enjoy your spring. :)]
Best,

> Subject: High Noon in Vienna: Your Ideas for Our SCL Digital Duels
> Date: 22. March 2021 at 13:21:46 CET
> To: sclab(a)alice.wu-wien.ac.at, sclab_community(a)alice.wu-wien.ac.at, Soheil Human <soheil.human(a)wu.ac.at>, "Matthias C. Kettemann" <m.kettemann(a)leibniz-hbi.de>

> Dear Lab Community,
>
> It’s High Noon for the future of digitality. And with High Noon we mean: it’s a time for decisions.
>
> In order to leverage what we know to find out more about what we don’t know and should know about the future we’re heading towards, we organize a debating series entitled “Digital Duel”.
>
> What is a “Digital Duel”, you ask.
>
> Based on a concept developed by Soheil, Matthias and Marie and organized by the Lab’s Research Group Platform Governance, a “Digital Duel”, as we conceive of it, should bring together two speakers that present different points of view around a topic.
>
>
> To give you an example, imagine the topic “AI”. The first speaker would represent an optimistic view on AI technology in the form of a thesis like “AI will save us”, while the other would rather argue for a pessimistic scenario along the lines of “AI will kill us all”. Similarly, a Duel on the role of social media might have to opponents arguing “Social media destroys democracy” and “Social media saves democracy”.
>
> In order to have a lively, but well-structured duel a moderator will accompany the two speakers.
>
> Our duels are virtual. We will use a Zoom environment.
>
> “Digital Duels” will be scheduled around noon – High Noon – will be implemented in cooperation with JF:TEC, Junges Forum: Technikwissenschaften.
>
> We count on you, dear Lab Community, to give us some suggestions. What should we duel about? Who should speak? Please feel free to nominate yourself.
>
> Here is the link to our “Digital Duel” planning document and your entry code: SCLab2021
> https://humans.ocloud.de/index.php/s/o5PJZyLdKeRRXAG
>
> Please share your ideas with us until the 7th of April 2021.
> If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact Marie-Therese (msekwenz(a)wu.ac.at).
>
> Thank you in advance for your wonderful contributions!
