 The Edmond & Lily Safra Center, [Embedded EthiCS@Harvard](https://embeddedethics.seas.harvard.edu/), and the [Carr Center for Human Rights Policy](https://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/carr) have announced the launch of a new TechEthics Colloquium to be co-convened by [Mathias Risse](/people/mathias-risse) and [Jeff Behrends](/people/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.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe3qWC5vQq8RPPS4OjqjIzzSdwkJdFpda2pgh6fMwiZ8QVsFQ/viewform)

 *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.*
