We are pleased to invite you to the next EORC Talk at the Earth Observation Research Cluster in Würzburg.

On Monday, 13 April 2026 at 4:00 pm, Meeyoung Cha (Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, Bochum) will present her latest work on the opportunities and challenges of AI in a data-rich world.

Artificial intelligence agents, powered by individual and large-scale multi-modal data, are increasingly shaping social platforms and enabling applications such as poverty mapping, socioeconomic analysis, and disaster assessment. At the same time, these developments raise critical concerns, including bias, misinformation, and risks to democratic systems.

In her talk, Meeyoung Cha will discuss how thoughtful design of AI and data systems can help mitigate these risks while supporting sustainable and human-centered outcomes. She will also reflect on her research journey on misinformation and her experiences collaborating across academia, industry, and international organizations.

📍 Location: Seminar Room 2, Earth Observation Research Cluster, John-Skilton-Str. 4a
🕓 Time: Monday, 13 April 2026, 4:00 pm

 

We warmly invite all interested colleagues and students to join the discussion.
