I'm currently looking into the impact of GenAI and LLMs on the social sciences, especially classification tasks. If I can think of some work, especially from a philosophy of scientific practices perspective, I would be happy if you could put it into the answers. Thank you!

Not gonna lie, "Wir streichen die Geisteswissenschaften an der TU und machen sie damit wieder zur TH Charlottenburg" hatte ich nicht als Debattenbeitrag zum "Wir können doch eine Berliner Hochschule schließen" Pitch der CDU auf der Wissenschaftspolitik-Bingokarte.
Die gesamte geisteswissenschaftliche Fakultät an der TU Berlin soll geschlossen werden. Der behauptete Synergie-Effekt ist eine Farce. Wenn die TU-Ingenieure an der FU Philosophie studieren, braucht die FU dafür neue Stellen und Räume. Es geht um Abbau.
