However, alongside these promises come significant ethical, social, and technical challenges. While AI has been praised for its capacity to address complex issues and foster innovation, concerns about bias, transparency, accountability, and fairness are increasingly urgent. Critics warn that without careful oversight, AI could perpetuate existing inequalities and create new forms of discrimination. Despite these ongoing debates, much of the discourse remains speculative, highlighting the need for deeper empirical and theoretical inquiry into AI's impacts and the social, ethical and political responsibilities that should guide its development. Our symposium provides an opportunity to explore, from social sciences and humanities perspectives and through interdisciplinary conversations, what constitutes responsible AI development, application, and governance. It aims to offer a platform for international researchers to exchange insights, discuss new approaches, and foster interdisciplinary collaborations that will enhance and deepen our understanding of what it means to engage with AI responsibly. We welcome presentations from a wide range of methodological and theoretical perspectives, across the social sciences and humanities. We are particularly interested in work that builds or reflects on research conducted and interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers in the computer sciences. Submissions may include, but are not limited to: * Analyses of social, ethical and political dimensions of AI development and use practices across various fields of application (e.g., medicine, industry, labor market, finance, etc.) * Analyses of the social, political and economic ecosystems in which AI is currently developed, including big data infrastructures * Methodological challenges in studying AI in development and practice (e.g. in integrative, trans-/interdisciplinary, and participatory settings) * Complex relations of academic and industry-based research in AI * Theoretical and conceptual consideration for expanding conceptions of responsible AI * Sociotechnical innovations for embedding responsibility into AI systems * Analyses specifically focused on questions of social justice, inclusion and equity in AI development and practice This interdisciplinary event will take place from 8th to 10th April 2025 at the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation in Munich, Germany. Please submit your title, abstract (max. 300 words) and a short bio (max. 150 words) to kathrin.hertle(a)hfph.de until 15th December 2024. Alongside traditional academic articles, we also consider alternative ways of communicating research, such as videos, short stories, photo essays, posters, verse, among others. _Venue_ Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung [3] Südliches Schloßrondell 23 80638 Munich, Germany ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (Sonderband, Deadline: 30.10.2025) The Monist: Rediscovering Carl Stumpf _The Monist_ invites submissions for an upcoming thematic issue of the journal on the philosophy of Carl Stumpf. Advisory editors: Hamid Taieb (Humboldt University of Berlin) & Mark Textor (King's College London) Publication date: April 2027 Carl Stumpf (1848-1936) was a central figure of German-speaking philosophy and psychology at the turn of the twentieth century. He is a pioneer of Gestalt psychology and the philosophy and psychology of music. Stumpf was a pupil of Franz Brentano and Hermann Lotze, and he himself influenced his student Edmund Husserl, as well as psychologists such as Wolfgang Köhler and Max Wertheimer, who were Stumpf's students as well. Stumpf's work is original and contains groundbreaking contributions to a range of topics. He defended nativism about space by arguing that perception has multiple contents. This thought plays also an important role in his analysis of the perception of sound (especially the perception of chords) and it set Gestaltpsychology on its course. His theory of feelings contrasts fruitfully with that of James and Brentano. He worked out a defense of critical realism, a trope ontology, a non-psychologistic epistemology, a detailed analysis of sensory contents, an account of the objectivity of concepts and propositions without abstract objects, and he explored many other specific topics, such as the origins of music. In addition, he devoted much time to reflecting on the subject-matter of the different sciences and on how they should be classified. In parallel to his theoretical investigations, he also made experimentations in psychology and musicology. He corresponded with Gottlob Frege, William James, and Hermann Lotze, among others. Given the originality of Stumpf's work, it is surprising that it is neglected in the literature. There is very little engagement with Stumpf systematically and/or historically. This special issue of _The Monist_ aims to change this situation. Its goal is to unlock the potential of Stumpf's thought and to introduce his work to a broader philosophical audience. It welcomes submissions from experts on Stumpf's philosophy and from experts on philosophers that influenced or were influenced by Stumpf as well as from philosophers that engage with important themes in Stumpf from a contemporary perspective. _Submission Information_ All submissions should be prepared for anonymous review and sent to the advisory editors: hamid.taieb(a)hu-berlin.de and mark.textor(a)kcl.ac.uk Manuscripts received from the call will first go through a pre-selection by the advisory editors. The manuscripts passing it will be sent for full double-blind review process. Word limit: 7'000 words, including notes and references. Please follow the journal's Author Guidelines [4]. ****************************************** (4) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Darmstadt, 28-29.11.2024) Workshop: Gibt es eine Philosophie des Rechtsextremismus? Bei der Erforschung der Kommunikationsstrategien der „Neuen Rechten" stößt man unweigerlich auf eine verwirrende Erkenntnis: Die Neue Rechte beansprucht immer wieder die Philosophie für sich. Die (akademische) Philosophie hingegen schweigt in der Regel dazu. In diesem interdisziplinären Online-Workshop des BMBF-geförderten Projekts „Meme, Ideen, Strategien rechtsextremistischer Internetkommunikation" (MISRIK) am 28. und 29. November 2024 wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob es eine Philosophie des Rechtsextremismus - als Genitivus Subiectivus wie auch Obiectivus - überhaupt gibt und wenn ja, in welchem Sinne. Auf welche philosophischen Autor*innen, Themen, Probleme, Konzepte, Disziplinen oder Schulen bezieht sich die extreme (neue) Rechte? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, werden wir aktuelle Phänomene und Diskurse der Neuen Rechten im digitalen Raum sowie (historische) Anleihen bei Philosoph*innen von Carl Schmitt bis Alexander Dugin innerhalb dieser Szene untersuchen. Programm und Anmeldung: https://www.philosophie.tu-darmstadt.de/misrik/veranstaltungen/ws_philosoph… Bitte beachten Sie, dass eine Anmeldung erforderlich ist. Wir senden Ihnen dann rechtzeitig die Zugangsdaten zu Zoom zu.
