Outstanding bachelor thesis honored with ROSEN award

On June 2nd, Cognitive science student Annemarie Witschas has been honored with the ROSEN-award 2022 for her outstanding bachelor thesis "Porn, Power and Platforms: The (Re-)Production of Hegemonic Sexuality through Machine Learning Systems".

In the awarded work she investigates how Artificial Intelligence systems adversely affect liberal and emancipatory forms of gender and sexual expression. Through a feminist lens she analyzes the normalizing power behind the censoring of sexual content on social media sites as well as the repressive effects of pornographic deepfakes on women. By addressing the widely tabooed and disregarded issue of pornography she illuminates on the powerful and far-reaching effects that AI systems have on today's society.
