80 -==== **Goals: ** ====
81 -
82 -* Focus is on implementation: Last workshop was impulse, this should enable implementation by developing concrete action points.
83 -* Do we need a paper? How can the results be optimally prepared?
84 -* 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)
85 -* 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)

94 -**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”**
95 -
96 -* **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/]]"
97 -* 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.
98 -* 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.
99 -** How will it be possible to realize predominantly human-performed research activities with the support of AI tools in the future?
100 -** Can we formulate a range for this?
