  • Mesterséges Intelligencia Filmklubok
    MESTERSÉGES INTELLIGENCIA FILMKLUBOK SZEREPE A MESTERSÉGES INTELLIGENCIÁVAL KAPCSOLATOS ATTITŰDÖK FORMÁLÁSÁBAN Szerző: Lektorok: Mező Ferenc (PhD) Koncz István (PhD, CSc) K+F Stúdió Kft Professzorok az Európai Magyarországért Egyesület Mező Katalin (PhD) Debreceni Egyetem Mező Kristóf Szíriusz Váró Kata Anna (DLA) Kocka Kör Debreceni Egyetem Első szerző e-mail címe: [email protected] …és további két anonim lektor Absztrakt Manapság a filmek fontos szerepet játszanak a mesterséges intelligenciával (MI) kapcsolatos attitűdök alakításában. Következésképpen a filmklubok, amelyek az „MI filmekre” összponto- sítanak, hatékonyak lehetnek a mesterséges intelligenciához való hozzáállás formálásában. Ez a cikk egyrészt az „MI filmek” egy (1908-tól 2019-ig terjedő) gyűjteményét mutatja be a Film- klubok számára; másrészt módszertani javaslatokat nyújt az „MI” Filmklubok alapításához és szervezéséhez. Kulcsszavak: mesterséges intelligencia (MI), film, attitűd Diszciplina: pszichológia, pedagógia Abstract ROLE OF FILM CLUBS IN FORMING OF ATTITUDES TOWARD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Nowadays movies have important roles in forming attitudes about artificial intelligence (AI). Consequently the Film Clubs, which focus on 'AI films', can be effective in shaping the attitudes towards artificial intelligence. This article, on the one hand, shows a collection of 'AI films' (form 1908 to 2019) for Film Clubs. On the other hand, it gives methodological recommendations for founding and organizing Film Clubs in order to shape attitudes towards artificial intelligence.
