The Edmond & Lily Safra Center, Embedded EthiCS@Harvard, and the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy have announced the launch of a new TechEthics Colloquium to be co-convened by Mathias Risse and Jeff Behrends. 

 

This colloquium will discuss exciting new academic work around normative issues in technology; work of interest to people with a philosophical background, but the orientation is interdisciplinary. Artificial Intelligence is of special interest for this colloquium, but other technologies may also enter the discussions. The focus is, to a large extent, on bringing in younger scholars from outside the Boston area, but will also include local scholars as presenters. 

 

Colloquium organizers are currently assembling a group of interested participants who are willing to attend regularly. To participate, join the mailing list here.

 

Please note: A paper (work in progress by the speaker) will be pre-circulated, and all participants are expected to read it in advance. Only those on the mailing list will have access to the paper, so please register if you'd like to participate.
