About the Conference
AI technologies are drastically reshaping society, thereby raising urgent ethical questions about such values as privacy, security, fairness, safety, and accountability. While AI holds immense potential for good, it risks harm through misuse, bias, and careless implementation. Because of its pervasive import, it is more than timely that we should engage in reflective and critical thought on its ethical underpinnings.This conference brings together scholars from diverse disciplines (Philosophy, Political Science, Computer Science, Law, Business) and industry experts (Adobe, Google) to explore ethical challenges and develop solutions for responsible, values-driven AI. One overarching goal of the conference is to examine how we can ensure AI technologies serve the common good and uphold principles of democracy, equity, social justice, human dignity and care for the planet.
The conference is organized by the Department of Philosophy and the Institute of Informatics and Applied Technology.
