ENLIGHT Lecture “Artificial Intelligence: Ethical Aspects"

ENLIGHT online lecture "Artificial Intelligence: Ethical Aspects" will take place on Wednesday, 20 September from 15:00 to 16:00.

The rapid development of AI and its expanding application areas are not only raising new questions but also awakening more and more uncertainties. In the upcoming lecture, four experts from ENLIGHT universities will share their insights from current research on AI and ethics:

• Heike Felzmann (University of Galway): Engagement with Artificial Agents
• Mikael Laaksoharju and Thomas Lennerfors (Uppsala University): "What is the problem to which AI chatbots are the solution? AI ethics through Don Ihde’s embodiment, hermeneutic, alterity, and background relationships"
• Nathan Wood (Ghent University): Autonomous Weapons and Responsibility for War Crimes

All members from the ENLIGHT community, external partners and the wider public are welcome to join the lecture. You can register and participate in a Zoom Session or tune in on the ENLIGHT Youtube Channel where the lecture will be broadcast live. Registration for the Zoom Session is possible on the website of the University of Göttingen.

Networking event after the lecture for researchers from ENLIGHT universities

Each lecture is followed by a networking event for the scientific community. In the brand-new virtual space, the researchers from ENLIGHT universities can not only continue the discussion on the lecture`s topic but also use the opportunity to identify common research interests. This event serves as a platform for developing new ideas for future cooperation within the network. The ENLIGHT team supports this process by providing insights on funding opportunities. Researchers from all stages are more than welcome to join in! Please register here.
