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
