Annotation of the LLL programme
These days, artificial intelligence is a popular keyword appearing everywhere. Frequently, AI is claimed to accomplish complex tasks, put humans out of their
jobs, and solve all social problems. The concept of AI is used to designate so
many different of things, processes, systems, devices, and ideas that it almost
loses any real meaning. What is behind this keyword and so-called intelligent
technologies and functions? How do our historical and cultural legacies affect our
understanding, hopes, and projections for the future of AI? The four-day
intensive course at Palacky University in Olomouc tackles these questions and
many more, giving an interdisciplinary and diverse overview of the main
theories, paradigms and discourses at the intersections of technology, society,
and language.
