On 14 November 2024, the 5th CDR Conference of the CDR Initiative took place in Berlin under the title ‘Fairness in the Age of Artificial Intelligence’. The programme was packed with inspiring presentations, workshops and plenty of room for networking. Three new publications from the CDR Initiative's office were also presented.

On the occasion of the 5th CDR Conference on 14 November 2024 in Berlin, the CDR Initiative is publishing survey results on the opportunities and risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The aim of the survey is to examine citizens' experiences with AI technologies, the opportunities and risks associated with the use of AI and expectations regarding the responsible use of AI.

Diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities are core values of our society. Digitalisation can have both positive and negative effects on these values. With the help of our diversity impact assessment, we provide companies with a tool with which they can evaluate the impact of digitalisation processes on diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities and identify improvement measures.

After last year's successful launch, the Digital Data Clean-Up 2024 is entering the next round! The campaign, initiated as part of the CDR Initiative, aims to motivate employees to clean up their digital data on hard drives, network drives, in email inboxes and in the cloud and to support them in doing so.

Our CDR conference will take place on 14 November from 13:00 to 18:00 in Berlin. The topic is ‘Fairness in the age of artificial intelligence’ and we are looking forward to welcoming high-profile speakers from politics, business and civil society.
