Exploring the societal impact of analytics and artificial intelligence with Catalina Stefanescu-Cuntze and Urs Mueller

In this episode of Campus 10178 – the podcast of ESMT Berlin – Catalina Stefanescu-Cuntze and Urs Mueller join host Tammi L. Coles for a conversation about the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence and analytics. Drawing on their experience as educators and researchers in the ESMT Master in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (MAAI) program, they reflect on the human values behind the data, the implications of algorithmic decision making, and the need for cross-cultural dialogue in designing responsible technologies.

The conversation explores how ethical considerations arise throughout the data value chain – from collection to analysis to implementation – and why a technical solution alone is not enough. They also discuss the evolving regulatory landscape, including the EU AI Act, and the importance of embedding ethical frameworks into both education and practice.

Key discussion points
  • Ethical considerations in analytics and artificial intelligence
  • The relationship between data neutrality and human interpretation
  • The role of educational programs in fostering critical, values-based reflection
  • Differences in regulatory approaches across jurisdictions
  • Why future development must center people and society
