Presentation at “GRANITE – EJEA: Europe meets Japan: Intercultural Workshop on Data Sovereignty and Generative AI”

On September 24, 2024, Maria Zangl, who is currently working in the ITHACA project, presented ongoing doctoral research and already conducted research within ITHACA at the “GRANITE – EJEA: Europe meets Japan: Intercultural Workshop on Data Sovereignty and Generative AI” during the Informatikfestival 2024 in Wiesbaden. Her presentation, titled “Empowering Citizens for AI: Assessing Public’s Misconceptions about Large Language Models,” focused on conceptualizing an adaptive assessment to address public misconceptions about ChatGPT. The research, aligning with the workshop’s theme of Data Sovereignty and Generative AI, aims to enhance public understanding and engagement with AI technologies and to support especially vulnerable groups in the AI era.
