The philosophy department invites you to attend UAA’s 19th Annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference! Held at UAA’s main campus, our conference features student papers, panels and keynote speaker John Basl, Ph.D. (Northeastern University) on a wide variety of philosophical issues. The keynote address is titled “An Ethics Ecosystem for AI and Big Data: Why? What? How?”.

In this talk, Basl will diagnose errors that continue to occur in our development and deployment of AI and big data analytics and use that to motivate the need for an ethics ecosystem - a coordinated set of components that distributes the task of managing ethical issues - for AI and big data. Along the way, he'll engage with a series of philosophical and ethical issues raised by AI.

Refreshments available. The conference is open to the public.
