insights into the meaning of distrust

On the second day of the festival, the philosopher Marie-Luisa Frick will raise questions as to whether distrust can be a virtue and how far our trust in modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) should go. Investigative reporters and Pulitzer award winner Christo Buschek will also have their say and address the challenges of our trust in technical systems. Another panel discussion is devoted to the transparency in the economy and the complex supply chains, which are often the focus of distrust.

director and artistic director Jakob Brossmann explains the importance of distrust in our social context: "Distrust plays a central role in our development - socially, socially, socially. Basically, you can find a counter -opinion within a very statement. How do we go to the sovereign?" place.

Another highlight of the events will be the presentation of the commemorative publication "Unsimined. A confession" by journalist Solmaz Khorsand.
