| 34 | * Follow-up note from Dwayne: There was one point I think is missing from the slides for your discussions with the other organisers, if we are going to try and create a single timetable with these semi-dissimilar topics, we do need a bridge session to add some continuity, something about the ethics of sustainability. It doesn't have to be too long, but I think it needs to be there if the conference is to have a sense of coherence. | ||

| 94 | |||
| 95 | * Focus is on implementation: Last workshop was impulse, this should enable implementation by developing concrete action points. | ||
| 96 | * Do we need a paper? How can the results be optimally prepared? | ||
| 97 | * At the end, concrete measures should emerge and be recorded (e.g. white paper, without publication, but with the aim of disseminating the measures widely) | ||
| 98 | * Concrete assignments: To present at DPG, concrete “tasks” with responsible persons (to be reported, e.g. to Overview Board or next year in the workshop) | ||

| 107 | **Possible Focus: “Framework conditions for future research in ErUM in view of ultra-fast AI developments and the urgent need for sustainability in the area of digital transformation”** | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | * **Title of the Workshop: Currrently "**[[2nd Workshop on Sustainability in the Digital Transformation of Basic Research on Universe & Matter>>url:https://indico.desy.de/event/47133/]]" | ||
| 110 | * Sustainability: The topic of sustainability has been initiated by the first workshop/paper; we can already hear about ongoing research projects and draw further consequences for progress. | ||
| 111 | * Ethics: The topic of ethics deals with AI developments and their significance for ErUM researchers. The aim here is to compile concrete AI developments and to identify probable development possibilities. | ||
| 112 | ** How will it be possible to realize predominantly human-performed research activities with the support of AI tools in the future? | ||
| 113 | ** Can we formulate a range for this? | ||
