General information

The conference is an interdisciplinary forum connecting the AI-engineering community, the community of philosophers and ethicists, and the community of argumentation theorists. The conference topics focus on broadly understood ethical issues arising in AI. Participants focus on real ethical problems that AI creators, users, and social, cultural, and political systems face. Although focused on ethics, the topics discussed will follow the tradition of the two combined conferences (see https://argdiap.pl/argdiap-meetings/, https://calculemus.org/fi6/) . Part of the conference is a workshop on how to shape academic teaching at the intersection of ethics and AI.
