Data Protection and Digital Transformation: Balancing Ethics and Progress

#CMTB23 Conference: Change Media – Transform Business

Thank you for the 2023 Conference edition!

The 2023 #CMTB conference, focussing on AI, data, and ethics, has reached a successful conclusion. Our international student speakers and poster presenters from five countries have presented their research and developments in the field. The audience was impressed by the diverse range of topics, including explainable AI approaches to solve autonomous driving problems, the role of data protection officers in Europe, and the impact of social media on healthcare decisions during the pandemic.

Furthermore, attendees were able to gain a deeper understanding of the complex ethical issues surrounding AI, data, and technology. The conference was attended online and in the lecture hall on Campus Magdeburg-Herrenkrug by 67 engaged students and professors from Slovakia, Austria, Northern Macedonia, South Africa, and Germany.

The keynote about “Explainable AI: The Case of ChatGPT” was held by Professor Martin Homola, Comenius University Bratislava, and was concluded with a creative demonstration, highly appreciated by the audience.

The conference also featured several awards, with Veronika Mattova from Comenius University Bratislava winning the Best Peer Review Award, the Talk “Explainable artificial intelligence approaches to solve autonomous driving problems: A systematic literature review” by Lukas Gusenbauer, Benjamin Lengauer, and Eric Peuschel winning the Best Presentation Award elected by the international conference committee, and the research project “Changes of student learning behavior due to e-learning use during the pandemic” by Beate Bergsmann, Tom Gorecki, and Peter Paminger, an Austrian-German research team, winning the Best Poster award elected by conference participants in an online-voting on the conference miroBoard.

In conclusion, on behalf of the conference team and the program committee, Professor Michael Herzog thanked all presenters for their commitment and engagement in rigorous research. He invited motivated students who had fun with their research projects and the conference atmosphere to participate in a Ph.D. program at Magdeburg or their home institutions.

The 2023 CMTB conference was an excellent opportunity for students, researchers, and professionals to exchange ideas and discuss the latest developments and challenges in AI, data protection and analytics, VR, healthcare, and other digital transformation topics.

About the CMTB conference series

The Change MEDIA Transform BUSINESS (#cmtb) is a continuation of the well-known #TCCM conference. Since 2012, Think CROSS – Change MEDIA has been a meeting place for journalists, press officers, designers, and managers.

Since 2020, the Cross Media and Digital Business Management continuing education programs at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences have jointly organized the #CMTB. This conference also deals intensively with the topics of digital business and administration.

A vital part of this conference has been presenting students’ ideas and research work in an international context. Collaborative virtual teaching and learning in international student groups developed emergent topics resulting from a research seminar between five to six universities every year. This course attracted up to 100 students every year, included 5 to 10 professors and brought a variety of topics the younger generation is interested in into the CMTB conference.

For the eleventh time, we invited visitors to discuss and actively participate in contributions from science and practice.
