The Lyceum Project: AI Ethics with Aristotle

19-06-2024 08:14

The Institute for Ethics in AI (Professor John Tasioulas), in collaboration with Stanford University (Professor Josiah Ober) and Greece's National Center for Scientific Research «Demokritos» (Professor George Nounesis) will hold a one-day conference on AI ethics called 'The Lyceum Project' in Athens on June 20th, 2024.

Dr. Maria-Artemis Kolliniati will present a paper at the 'Early Career Researchers' Parallel Sessions,' co-authored by Dr. Alkis Gounaris, Dr. George Kosteletos, and herself. The paper, titled 'Virtue in the Machine: Transcending the Value Loading Problem through Aristotelian Ethics,' explores the possibility that the concept of 'virtue in the machine' can be effectively applied in both 'limited' and 'minimal and no risk' AI systems.

The venue for the event will be the Athens Conservatoire , https://www.athensconservatoire.gr/get-know-athens-conservatoire/  which is adjacent to the ancient site of Aristotle's school, the Lyceum. The Greek Prime Minister, Mr Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has agreed to make a speech of welcome at the conference. The conference will involve (1) a philosophers' panel, at which Professor Ober and Professor Tasioulas will discuss their white paper on Aristotelian AI ethics; (2) a practitioners' panel, in which leading figures from the technical, entrepreneurial, and regulatory sides of AI discuss bridging theory and practice, and (3) six younger scholars with an interest in Aristotelian AI ethics will present their papers, as the finalists from the call for papers.

 
This event is generously supported by the Patrick J McGovern Foundation and the Cosmos Institute, the World Human Forum, the Athens Conservatory, and Stanford University Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence.

 

This event is free to attend and is open to all interested parties. Registration required.
