Abstract (ENG): Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses unprecedented capabilities in the field of data collection, storage and analysis. The amounts of accessible personal data, combined with their analysis through AI, enable forecasting and profiling with greater accuracy than ever before. Private and public actors use the technology for their purposes, with more or less privacy protection and transparency. Legal regulations are under discussion in different political frameworks. The ethical legitimacy of different AI endeavors in their respective contexts needs to be discussed. The power concentration resulting from big data and AI has consequences for societies across borders. Tracking, facial recognition, mass personal profiling and targeted provision of information can be achieved, resulting in targeted but hidden influence, surveillance or social scoring models. They may be used for safety and crime prevention as well as for control of citizens and potential political opponents. Cultures and systems have diverging ethical standards and perceptions of the benefits and risks related with such types of AI. This presentation covers different perspectives and legitimation of the societal purposes and outcomes of AI. It compares different approaches regarding privacy, data ownership and sovereignty as well as potential governance measures to safeguard values such as cohesion, pluralism, mutual learning and cooperation within and among the different societies of this world.
