Speakers have been announced for the spring TechEthics Colloquium sponsored by 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).

This colloquium discusses 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, 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 also includes local scholars as presenters.

The colloquium takes place on **selected Tuesdays from 12:30-1:45 PM**, over a **catered lunch**, in the Dennis F. Thompson Seminar Room (**124 Mt. Auburn, Suite 520N**). As always, we aim to foster a sense of community around these important ethical discussions, and we appreciate your continued engagement.
