Submission deadline: April 30, 2024

Oxford University’s Institute for Ethics in AI, in collaboration with Stanford University, Greece’s National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos“, and the World Human Forum will hold a one-day conference on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ‘The Lyceum Project’, in Athens on June 20, 2024. The venue for the event will be the Athens Conservatory which is adjacent to the ancient site of Aristotle’s school, the Lyceum.

The Lyceum Project is premised on the belief that Aristotelian ethics contains many compelling ideas that have great significance for the ethics of AI. These ideas include the centrality of human flourishing to ethics and democratic politics; the virtues as constitutive of flourishing; the use of reason to determine the ends and not merely the means of human conduct; the place of friendship and citizenship in a good human life, among others.… read more. “Call: The Lyceum Project: AI Ethics with Aristotle”

Consensual Play
Guest-edited issue of The Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds
https://www.intellectbooks.com/journal-of-gaming-virtual-worlds

Deadline for submissions: April 30, 2024

The Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds invites submissions for a guest edited special issue exploring consent in games. The issues surrounding consent are far-reaching, and what constitutes consent continues to be a live subject of debate in wide-ranging arenas (including healthcare choices, data access, gun ownership rights, and sexual assault). As discussions around consent and entitlement swirl around the public sphere, game scholars and designers have a critical opportunity to explore this crucial cultural conversation through the lens of games.

Games have long offered a distinctive exploration of consent through the concept of the magic circle, which involves voluntarily suspending real-world constraints within the playspace (Huizinga 1938, Salen and Zimmerman 2004; Zimmerman 2012). While the magic circle itself does not explicitly relate to consent, the player’s agreement to abide by the rules of the game world can be seen as a kind of implied consent within the context of the game.… read more. “Call: Consensual Play issue of The Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds”

This conference aims to gather both creatives and scholars to discuss the diverse types, functions, and significance of storytelling.

“The power of stories lies in their ability to access the deep layers of the psyche, providing a mirror to our inner world.” – Marie-Louise Von Franz

As aptly stated by Jimmy Neil Smith, “We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.” What distinguishes humans is not merely our consciousness, but our innate capacity to craft narratives – myths being the earliest manifestations of this unique trait, as noted by Margaret Atwood, “built in the human plan.… read more. “Call: The Art of Storytelling: Archetypes in Focus (Hybrid conference)”
