Are you a teacher, researcher, student or in any other way interested in our collaboration? Every month the EWUU alliance will organise a meeting about research and education of the alliance.

On Thursday April 25, from 12.15 – 13.00 hrs, The AI group will host an online lunch lecture on “Trustworthy AI”. We have two speakers who will give a presentation and afterwards there will be a short Q&A session.

Programme:

Trustworthy to whom? No trustworthy AI without critical public participation.

Abstract: When discussing trustworthy AI, we usually focus on a list of basic values like transparency, privacy, and accountability etc. While these aspects are essential for ethical AI development, this narrow focus can overlook some broader issues that deeply shake public trust in AI. Instead of solely promoting trust, I propose integrating “justified distrust” as a crucial element into the AI design process to ensure that AI are genuinely trustworthy.

What can philosophy and ethics bring us in navigating the AI era?

Abstract: This talk discusses the interconnected realms of trust, ethics, and governance in the context of artificial intelligence (AI).
By blending insights from diverse disciplines, it explores how these elements shape the responsible development and regulation of AI technologies.
This presentation aims to provoke thoughtful dialogue and catalyze collaborative efforts towards fostering a future where AI is not only technically proficient but also ethically and socially responsible.
