Ethics in AI Education
This seminar on Ethics in AI Education will tackle three questions that arise when we aim to teach computer science students about the ethical and social responsibility dimensions of AI engineering: (1) What are our learning objectives?

Dr Milo Phillips-Brown, Dr Helena Webb, and Prof. Max Van Kleek will frame these questions and share what they’ve found from their own work in this area. They are also keen to learn from the experience of others, and this seminar provides an opportunity for the panellists and audience to brainstorm together about these issues.

Robotic systems threaten a massive disruption of employment and transport, while algorithms fuelled by machine learning on (potentially biased) “big data” increasingly play a role in life-changing decisions, whether financial, legal, or medical. More subtly, AI...
