The event revolves around the following topic:
"No Signal - does the truth disappear in the flood of data?"
The concept of truth is a central factor not only in scientific thinking, but also determines to a very large extent such diverse areas as jurisdiction or religion. Truth is not only formulated as an abstract claim. Rather, the claim to represent reality correctly, i.e. in accordance with the truth, is found in a very differentiated form in peer reviews of scientific publications. The claim that financial reporting should provide a true and fair view of a company's business and financial situation is just another example.
We are very pleased to present you a short video summary of our last event (partly in German):
At the TH Deggendorf, experts sound out the possibilities and limits of the use of artificial intelligence and statistical methods
(Author: Rainer Klüting - Photographer: Mathias Adam)
Computers use sophisticated algorithms to browse tax returns, company balance sheets or data from statistical surveys. They find errors, manipulations and tendencies and are thus increasingly involved in serious decisions. Can humans leave thinking to algorithms and so-called artificial intelligence? Where can this be useful, where dangerous? "Algorithms - Tools of a new way of thinking?" International experts discussed this question at the end of last week at the invitation of the 15th "Deggendorf Forum for Digital Data Analysis" (DFDDA) under the direction of Prof. Dr. Georg Herde of the TH Deggendorf.
Digital technologies change communication, the working world and the economy. Digitalization has become a buzz word, a threat to the working world for some and a chance for new business areas and more efficient processes for others.
Do promising technologies, such as artificial intelligence (a. i.) help in-house accountants, auditors and tax advisors in processing ever increasing data volumes? This was one of the central questions at the 14th Deggendorf Forum for Digital Data Analysis (DFDDA), which took place at the Glashaus at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology on 26 and 27 April 2018.
The motto was: “the world is complex – do computers understand it better?”
