Is there such a thing as ethical AI?

The question of whether ethical AI is possible sits at the centre of today’s debates about technology, power and responsibility.

The Institute for Ethics in AI will bring together leading voices from journalism, academia, philosophy and industry, to explore what ethical AI might mean in practice. They will consider whether ethical principles can genuinely guide the development, use and deployment of AI, or whether tensions between innovation, incentives and accountability make ethical AI an aspiration rather than a reality.

Open to the public, this panel discussion invites visitors to engage with one of the most pressing questions shaping the future of technology and society.

Part of Open House, a free festival day of performances and events open to everyone.

Panellists:

Kenneth Cukier, Deputy Executive Editor, The Economist

Ray Eitel-Porter, Senior Research Associate for Responsible AI, Intellectual Forum, University of Cambridge; former Global Lead for Responsible AI, Accenture

Edward Harcourt, Director (Interim), Institute for Ethics in AI, University of Oxford

Philipp Koralus, McCord Professor of Philosophy and AI, Institute for Ethics in AI, University of Oxford
