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. TechEthics Colloquium sponsored by the Edmond & Lily Safra Center, Embedded EthiCS@Harvard, and the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy.
The colloquium takes place on selected Tuesdays from 12:30-1:45 PM, over acatered 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.
