Philosophy and AI workshop

Join an interdisciplinary dialogue to facilitate the integration of philosophical concerns and technical approaches to technology.

This unique, two-day online event features talks in the fields of philosophy (ethics and mind), artificial intelligence, data ethics and related areas.

There will be a range of UK-based speakers and in-depth discussion of issues related to how data and artificial intelligence can be applied to real-world challenges.

Gabriela Arriagada Bruneau: “We want to facilitate integration of philosophical concerns and technical approaches to technology - so we welcome attendees from philosophy, computer science, or any other areas that have a perspective on the philosophical issues raised by AI. We also want to encourage an open and interactive dialogue about issues that are raised during the presentations and other related worries.”

This event is free to attend, but registration is required.
