Exploring the ethical frontiers of aware artificial intelligence: EU researchers convene in Uppsala
Da Vinci LabsMeeting Announcement
Artificially intelligent systems and robots are becoming ubiquitous in our lives, including automated vehicles, delivery robots, and AI assistants. However, as research and development on this field increasingly turns towards imbuing such systems with artificial awareness, we must ask ourselves: what are the ethical implications of doing so? How can challenges, benefits and responsibilities be defined across stakeholders, from developers and policymakers to end-users? And how do we ensure that these technologies align with societal values while mitigating risks?
These pressing topics formed the focus of the 2nd Workshop "Inside the Ethics of AI Awareness," held at Uppsala University on November 11, 2024. Organised by the SymAware consortium alongside other EIC-funded projects in the “Awareness Inside” portfolio, the workshop addressed topics such as the governance of AI ethics, ethical dimensions of multi-agent systems, and the implications of designing value-aware and metacognitive AI systems.
Participants engaged in an interactive workshop on ethical considerations, exploring how these technologies can be responsibly integrated into society. Discussions focused on key stakeholders, such as policymakers, developers, and the public, as well as the potential risks and benefits associated with aware AI, including transparency, accountability, and human-AI collaboration.
