A Journey through Artificial Intelligence lecture series: AI alignment and value forks

“AI alignment and value forks” is the title of the fourth lecture in this series, which will take place at the University of Graz (Austria) and can be followed online.

Value alignment sounds simple: we want systems that use Artificial Intelligence to make decisions and produce outcomes that are consistent with our moral and societal values. However, this talk will suggest that our ethical values, which inform what is the right course of action, or what should be done, may be sensitive to the type of agent (human vs. AI), and that this may pose a complex problem for value alignment in different application domains.

Markus Kneer holds the Chair for Ethics of Artificial Intelligence at the IDea_Lab, University of Graz, and he is also the director of the Guilty Minds Lab. Previously, he was a research associate at the University of Zurich working on the philosophy of language, mind and moral psychology, and a fellow at the Digital Society Initiative (UZH), where he worked on ethics and AI.

The session will take place on 14 November 2024 at 16:00 CEST. Registration is required.
