Dear all/carissim* nexian*, what if, instead of talking about "ethical AI" we acknowledged that innovators, industrialists, and governments have incurred a "technological moral debt" towards civil society? What if, in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic, this debt were finally due? On Thursday 20 May 2021, 7PM-9PM (Paris Time), I'll have the pleasure to discuss these topics with Prof. Shannon Vallor, philosopher and Baillie Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and AI at the University of Edinburgh (UK). Artist and educator Sam Lavigne will provide an "artistic counterpoint". The session is free and open to external participants, as part of my #ecnEHESS "Studying Digital Cultures" EHESS seminar, in partnership with Paris art center La Gaîté Lyrique. To attend, you can watch the live webinar and ask question in the chatroom: - on the Gaîté Lyrique website: https://gaite-lyrique.net/en/plein-ecran/content/technologys-moral-debt - on Youtube: https://youtu.be/5ah-GOCpQw8 - on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/930477384437996/ Cheers, Antonio -- Antonio A.
