The Arts, Humanities & Responsible AI Symposium

The aim of the event is to bring together Arts & Humanities scholars to work together and collectively examine a timely question, “How can the Arts and Humanities enable and support research relating to Responsible AI on a personal level, as practice and philosophically?”

 

In order to do this, we will spend time reflecting on the nature of 'responsibility', and what responsible AI may look like by focusing on three distinct domains: Ecology and Wildlife, Identity, and Wellbeing, Representation, Belief and Heritage. 

​
 

The day will comprise of 3 sessions
 

Introductions (10am-11am): the organisers will first offer an outline of the day and its aims, and then each participant will get a few minutes (up to 5) to introduce their interest in the central question of the event.
