Seminar
ETHICS x AI — Putting ethical AI into practice

Fri, 13.05.2022
10:00 AM - 16:00 EET Tiedekulma, Helsinki

Link to livestream
Artificial Intelligence plays an elementary role in science, business, and society, but what are the ethical foundations or political frameworks for its implementation? How can ethical principles be integrated into algorithms? How unprejudiced is machine–translated literature? Where does AI influence our legal and healthcare systems?

These questions and many more will be discussed with well–known experts —and with our guests. Our public event brings together discourses and practices from different fields —science, business, politics, culture, faith —and wants to advance them together with a broad audience. Our speakers come from the following organizations and companies: Hybrid CoE —European Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, Microsoft Finland, Reaktor, Aalto University, Friedrich–Alexander–Universität Erlangen–Nürnberg, and many more.
