[Iris] CFP on Identity, Virtue and Human-AI Interaction

Esteemed Colleagues, We would like to invite you to participate in our conference focusing on the relationship between identity and virtue in the context of human-AI interaction which will take place on the 30^th  and 31^st  of May this year in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The conference theme encompasses three main areas of inquiry: 1. The interplay between identity and virtue(s) in human behavior. 2. The significance of virtues in shaping human-AI interactions, online environments and their consequences for identity. 3. Exploring the plausibility of attributing virtue and identity to AI-based systems or AI-powered robots. Our aim will be to elucidate how epistemic identity, encompassing fundamental beliefs, cognitive processes, and epistemic standards, intertwines with virtuousness, religious belief(s) and associated virtues such as humility, largely in connection with newly developed AI tools. In this we will be examining the connections between virtue epistemology, AI ethics, and religious studies. Papers are also invited to explore topics such as the evolution of human epistemic identities in the context of AI interactions, the possibility of communication and evolution of religious beliefs within human-AI interactions, the discernibility of epistemic identity in AI systems and its implications, and the attribution of virtues or vices to AI entities and their potential impact on epistemic harm or injustice. We welcome submissions from diverse fields, including philosophy, bioethics, theology, computer science, law, and educational sciences. The conference aims to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions and welcomes contributions that cut across disciplinary boundaries. We will be accepting submissions at this email address (info(a)identity.ethics-ai.eu) until the 29^th  of March. Please find attached more detailed information regarding submission guidelines and deadlines. We invite you to participate in this exploration of identity, virtue, and the evolving dynamics of human-AI interaction. Your contributions are integral to advancing our understanding of these complex themes. Best regards, Matej Kapus Epistemic Identity and Epistemic Virtue Research Project in collaboration with Faculty of Theology Ljubljana
