Open Lab Evening: Five-Star Society
Can data, scores, and AI help ensure greater fairness?
© Foto: berlin-event-foto.de
What if our society were no longer organized solely by laws and rules, but also by algorithms that evaluate, reward, and penalize behavior? In the Open Lab, you’ll work together to develop your own social scoring system: What—and in what form—should a society based on solidarity and sustainability reward—and where do surveillance, paternalism, and injustice begin?
Algorithms that evaluate, reward, and penalize our individual behavior: What might initially sound like a surveillance state could raise the question of whether socially desirable behavior can be promoted more fairly and flexibly through a social credit system than through penalties and taxes.
Together in the Open Lab, you’ll explore the question of what behavior a society based on solidarity and sustainability should reward, what such incentives might look like, and what data could be used for this purpose. And above all: Where are the limits—when do incentives become paternalism, evaluations become surveillance, and supposed justice give rise to new injustices?
Workshop Facilitator
Mads Pankow publishes and speaks on AI and society. He founded the magazine “Die Epilog,” organized the Digital Bauhaus Summit, and has advised various federal and state ministries. In his book “Die wahrscheinliche Wahrheit” (The Probable Truth), he examines how AI is changing truth, justice, and society.
