Doctor it! Episode 13 – AI in academia

In this semester’s first episode of Doctor it! we have invited Michela Vignoli from the Austrian Institute of Technology and Marvin Stecker from the Department of Communication to talk about the use of AI in the humanities and the social sciences. Together with our host Emily Genatowski they discuss why Michela trains AI models to analyse images and texts from the 16th century and how Marvin applies machine learning in his research about contemporary political identities. Listen in when they explore the future of AI in academia beyond doomsday scenario and techno-utopia, and learn about the ethical questions that Michela and Marvin address in the daily use of AI for their PhD research. Why the movie Matrix and setting a timer with Siri are important for them: This and more in Episode 13 of Doctor it!

This episode was written and produced by Penelope Faithfull, Emily Genatowski and Martin Pokorny, edited by Martin Pokorny and Adityo Sudagung, and hosted by Emily Genatowski. Pictures by Christian Lendl, Martin Pokorny and Adityo Sudagung. Special thanks go out to our guests, Marvin Stecker and Michela Vignoli.
