The Trouble of Putting AI Ethics into Practice

On Tuesday 1st of October from 12.15-13.00 in Small UP1, Sonja Rebecca Rattay from the HCC section will speak at DIKU Bits. Bring your lunch, your fellow students, and join Sonja’s talk.

Sonja will dive into how ethics in the design of technology has a long history of debate that periodically surfaces with more urgency than at other times.
The fast progression of development and deployment of AI systems in the last years is one of such times.

As a result, conversations around ethics have spread beyond the field of moral philosophy, and the disciplines of HCI, computer science, data science and engineering are all making efforts to create generally applicable forms of applied ethics for the field. Sonja’s research investigates the tensions between good intentions and good practice in technical practice, and dives into the challenges that arise when imagined technical futures and social relations come into conflict.
