Call for Abstracts and Participation

April 26th 2021
https://forms.gle/XGYVRGpczFXejb4p7
We are the Graduate Research Group on Ethics and Technology. We are hoping to set up a network supporting graduate research in ethics and technology, beginning with the ‘Ethics and Technology Workshop’ on April 26th.
We are welcoming any work-in-progress proposals for the group to discuss together for either this workshop or later events to come. This group is intended to be a relatively informal, meeting place for early stage researchers where we can share our research and make some connections with others who specialise in the same area. We hope to keep in touch with participants and organise more events in the same vein with their involvement.
We are looking for discussions in any area of ethics and technology, including the following example topics:
- Machine Ethics: robot rights, autonomous systems, military robots
- Data Ethics: bias, fairness, transparency, privacy, explainability
- Decision making: moral judgements, artificial moral agency
- Ethics of technology: technofeminism, digital divide, gender equality,
- Superintelligent AI: existential risk, intelligence explosions, super-ethical AI
- Biology And Artificial Intelligence: human-enhancement and transhumanism, biological data science, synthetic biology, A-life
- Healthcare AI: care robots, patient monitoring, treatment and diagnosis,
- Conversational AI: chatbots, virtual personal assistants, natural language generation and understanding

In the same link you may also submit an abstract to present or a topic that you would like to lead a discussion on.
