Ethics AI

Thursday, 27 February 2025, 2.00pm to 3.00pm
Speaker: Thomas MEIER (LMU München)
Venue: East 1/West Hub

Research in artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, and its impacts on society and politics are becoming increasingly significant. Therefore, there is a growing need to examine the moral, ethical, and political implications of AI. The aim of this seminar is to give an introductory overview of technology ethics, to afterward discuss the intersection of AI, ethics, governance, and political theory, and provide concrete knowledge for technically trained students so they can professionally address these complex ethical questions, such as: Are technologies we build value-free? Bias and fairness in AI algorithms, Transparency and explainability of AI systems, Data privacy and security concerns in AI applications, Accountability and responsibility of AI developers and users, Human agency and autonomy in the age of AI, Impacts of AI technologies on justice and distribution, Ethical implications of job automation and the future of work, Effects of AI on human well-being and flourishing, AI and the environment, Ethical implications of AI research and development including military applications and autonomous weapons, amongst many others.
