Digital Competencies - Algorithms, AI & Ethics
On November 11th and 13th, 2024, the Directorate-General of the Vienna Health Network (Wiener Gesundheitsverbund) hosted a compelling lecture series titled “Digitale Kompetenzen - Algorithmen, KI & Ethik.” The series explored how artificial intelligence and algorithms are transforming professional life in the healthcare sector and public administration, providing valuable insights into their applications and ethical considerations.
Laura Kovács joined a panel of top-class experts from TUW and the Medical University of Vienna, delivering an insightful talk on Computational Thinking. She reflected on the relation between computational thinking and automated reasoning and described use cases of computational thinking in real world applications (event planning, puzzle solving, software safety and cybersecurity). Her presentation emphasized the limitations of AI systems and the importance of having computational thinking integrated in school education.
