Lunch Series: Decentralization and Evidential Pluralism
On 1 July 2026, we have Prof. Patrik Hummel as a guest in our Lunch Series.
Patrik Hummel is Professor of Philosophy and Blockchain at the University of Lucerne within the Zug Institute for Blockchain Research. In his talk "Decentralization and Evidential Pluralism", Patrik introduces us into the tension in medicine between universalizable standards of best evidence and particular knowledge generated and applied in clinical practice. He examines the effects of AI and big data on this tension.
After his 30-minute presentation, we will have time to discuss together about the topic!
The lunch series is organized by the Social Ethics Group, University Bonn, in collaboration with the Transdisciplinary Research Area "Life & Health" (TRA 3), University of Bonn and the Collaborative Research Centre EmpkinS.
We hope to see you on Wednesday, via Zoom or in person at Hofgarten 8!
