Fake-News-Experte beim Auftakt der neuen Wahlfachkooperation von Uni Graz und TU Graz

Welche Faktoren beeinflussen das Entstehen der vielzitierten Fake News? Warum verbreiten sie sich gerade über die Sozialen Medien? Und können Fakten überhaupt noch Abhilfe schaffen? Der internationale Data-Science-Experte und Komplexitäts-Forscher Walter Quattrociocchi von der Universität Venedig Ca’ Foscari schaute in seinem Vortrag am 25. Oktober 2018 hinter die digitalen Kulissen. Ein Blick, der zeigte, wie essenziell ein Verständnis der Methoden und Möglichkeiten von Data Science ist.

Hier setzt die neue Wahlfachkooperation „Route 63“ von Universität Graz und Technischer Universität Graz in den Bereichen Softwareentwicklung-Wirtschaft, Psychologie, Soziologie und Entrepreneurship an. Der Auftakt des Angebots, das ab Sommersemester 2019 besucht werden kann, erfolgte daher auch mit dem Vortrag von Walter Quattrociocchi.

Den symbolischen „Startschuss“ für die Kooperation gaben Uni-Graz-Rektorin Christa Neuper und TU-Rektor Harald Kainz. „Das Wahlfach ist ein weiterer Meilenstein in der Zusammenarbeit am Wissenschaftsstandort. Es erhöht die Chancen für unsere Studierenden und ist ein erster Schritt, gemeinsame Forschungen zu entwickeln“, hob Neuper hervor. Kainz stieß ins selbe Horn: „Wir verbreitern den gemeinsamen Weg und zeigen, dass Competition und Kooperation keine Gegensätze sind. Es ist ein Projekt, das beide Seiten bereichert.“

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.
