How can AI be used in responsible and innovative ways for science communication? Since its founding in September 2024, the task force “AI in science communication” has been addressing these questions as part of the #FactoryWisskomm of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The task force is led by Gesine Born (Bilderinstitut), Prof. Dr. Ekkehard Felder (University of Heidelberg), Nicole Hillebrand (University of Freiburg) and Dr. Matthias Begenat, head of the science communication department at CAIS.
In an initial working phase, researchers and interns from various disciplines and diverse areas of expertise are developing recommendations for action regarding the handling of generative AI and gathering best practice approaches. On February 4th, 2025, the group met for an in-depth workshop at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Berlin.
