Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation

Explore how #AI is transforming the #media landscape. From revolutionizing newsroom workflows to raising pressing questions about trust, transparency, and the future of truth. Christina Elmer from TU Dortmund University breaks it down in this talk, giving an overview on the current situation, insights in the editorial processes and recommendations for working with #machine #learning in #journalism. The title of her colloquium talk at Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) : "Synthetic Truthfulness? - Learning systems as a challenge for communication and a transformative force for journalism".: "Synthetic Truthfulness? - Learning systems as a challenge for communication and a transformative force for journalism".

I’m humbled to be invited once again as alumni to the 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLF) — an extraordinary event where scientific dialogue takes center stage, bringing together 200 outstanding young researchers in mathematics and computer science from around the world. The HLF is unlike any other forum. For one unforgettable week, it creates a space where the brightest early-career minds engage in deep, meaningful conversations with laureates of the Fields Medal, Abel Prize, Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Nevanlinna Prize, and IMU Abacus Medal. When I first attended the 5th HLF in 2017 during my PhD at the University of Oslo and OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, I was struck by the openness, generosity, and depth of the exchanges. Returning now as an alumnus, I’m especially looking forward to the intellectual energy that defines this forum — and to both learning from and contributing to conversations that shape the future of our fields. HLF doesn’t just celebrate achievement — it fosters genuine, intergenerational dialogue through masterclasses, workshops, and open conversations. It’s a place where ideas are shared, challenges are explored, and collaborations are born — all in the spirit of science and curiosity. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and excited to reconnect with the HLF community, meet this year's brilliant cohort, and be inspired all over again. #HeidelbergLaureateForum #Mathematics #ComputerScience #ScientificDialogue #FieldsMedal #TuringAward #AbelPrize #ACMPrizeInComputing #NevanlinnaPrize #IMUAbacusMedal

Woke up to the most exciting email yesterday(exactly 13 months after the email that notified me of my acceptance into Oxford!). The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation selects 200 researchers from all academic stages(Undergraduate, Masters, PhD and Postdocs) specializing in mathematics and computer science and offers them the unique opportunity to learn from and interact with some of the greatest minds in these fields. I am honored and deeply humbled to be in the pool of selected young researchers from across the world for the 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum(HLF) this year. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet laureates who have been awarded the #FieldsMedal, the #AbelPrize, the #ACMPrizeinComputing, the ACM A.M. #TuringAward, #IMUAbacusMedal and the #NevanlinnaPrize. This week-long conference breaks all conventions and sets up a platform for learning via masterclasses and workshops, alongside other social events that allow for the exchange of scientific ideas amongst several generations!! I am beyond excited, and so grateful to have been selected to attend this year’s edition of HLF. This is truly a rare opportunity and I cannot wait to learn from such a diverse group of noble mathematicians and talented young researchers!! #Mathematics #ComputerScience #HeidelbergLaureateForum
