【講演概要】Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the key technologies for dramatic change processes in the next 30 years. Research on the development of AI is driven by scientific and political ambitions, accompanied by great hopes and fears. What does it mean to live and work with such a form of intelligence? How will computing machinery evolve within the next decades? What can and should computer societies consider to ensure a positive development from both, a technological as well as societal point of view? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this keynote.

She has received her master 's degree (1991, honored with the Award of the Austrian Computer Society), her PhD (1995, honored with the very prestigious Heinz Zemanek PhD award) and the venia docendi in computer science (2000) from the University of Vienna. Since 2002, Gabriele Kotsis is a full professor in computer science at Johannes Kepler University (JKU), Linz, Austria, while leading the Department of Telecommunication and the division of Cooperative Information Systems. Prof. Kotsis has always been dedicated to contributing research management and to the larger scientific community. From 2003 to 2007 she was president of the Austrian Computer Society. She was appointed in 2007 and re-elected in 2011 as Vice Rector for Research at Johannes Kepler University Linz. Since July 2020, she is president of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Her scientific contributions include seminal work in the field of workload characterization for parallel and distributed systems and in performance management of computer systems with a specific focus on ubiquitous computing environments. She has successfully led several research projects, such as the EU funded networks of Excellence CRUISE and EuroNGI/EuroFGI. In 2014, Kotsis has been recognized as ACM Distinguished Scientist for her scientific contributions.
