| |
9.1 | 85 | |
| |
16.1 | 86 | * Focus is on implementation: Last workshop was impulse, this should enable implementation by developing concrete action points. |
| |
9.1 | 87 | * Do we need a paper? How can the results be optimally prepared? |
| 88 | * 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) | ||
| |
16.1 | 89 | * 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) |

20.1 | 100 | * **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/]]" |
| 101 | * 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. | ||
| 102 | * 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. | ||
| 103 | ** How will it be possible to realize predominantly human-performed research activities with the support of AI tools in the future? | ||
| 104 | ** Can we formulate a range for this? | ||
