The European University Association will host a webinar on ‘Artificial intelligence and ethics: the place of new technologies within university missions

on 18 June, 14.00-15.00 CEST. The event, which forms part of EUA’s yearlong work program on artificial intelligence, will explore central ethical dilemmas surrounding the use of AI in education, research and university management.

As universities continue to innovate and build momentum in the rollout of AI, key questions emerge around the evolution of human-machine interaction, the climate impact of AI, and (un)democratic access to new technologies. This webinar aims to trigger reflection among participants and advance the debate on the responsible adoption of AI within university missions and functions. It will feature presentations from:

 * Hallvard Fossheim, Leader, National Committee for Research Ethics in
   Science and Technology (NENT), University of Bergen, Norway
 * Gerolf Nauwerck, Business Architect, Uppsala University, Sweden
 * James Mackay, Associate Professor, Literature and Digital Cultures,
   European University Cyprus
