AI in Private Spaces Seminar and Symposium

What technology are we bringing into our lives? What spaces does it occupy? Between the tables and chairs of our dinner table, in our classrooms, on the couch, in the places we go when we are ill, in the hands of our children.. How do we feel about having technology in these spaces? And once we let in it, where do we go from here?

The Centre for AI and Digital Ethics, through our projects and seed funding grants, have been working on the questions of AI in Private Spaces. Our projects are cross-disciplinary, bring together experts from Law, Computer Science, Public Health, Philosophy, Culture and Communication, Art and Composition. From now until the end of the year we have an online and offline program of events, workshops and exhibitions to showcase the work we are doing to understand the implications of AI in Private Spaces.

Join us for our series of events, hear & see the work of our researchers and think about the AI in your life.
