Effizient, aber korrupt? Verwaltung im 17. und 21. Jahrhundert untersucht mit KI

  • 16:45 to 18:00
  • Talk
  • Several Speakers

As the opening of the workshop “AI-based methods for the humanities,” BIFOLD and the Weizenbaum Institute are hosting an engaging lecture and discussion on September 22, 2025.

The event will explore how artificial intelligence not only opens new doors for studying historical administrative processes, but also provides impulses for current debates on efficiency, transparency, and power structures. Christoph Sander (DHI Rome) will highlight the possibilities and limitations of AI-based methods in historical research, and together with Jan Mendling (HU Berlin) critically examine their relevance for today’s administrative and organizational contexts. Prof. Dr. Matteo Valleriani (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, BIFOLD Fellow) will introduce the speakers and moderate the event. 

Please note that the event will be conducted in German and will take place at Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF), Wilhelmstraße 67, 10117 Berlin; Room: Event hall, 1st floor.

Further details can be found on the BIFOLD website.
