The Character of AI – A Technology Conference

On July 21, 2022, the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics hosted a day-long conference on AI ethics. This event was distinct from typical academic conferences: each session brought into conversation academic philosophers, graduate students, and technology practitioners. The speakers engaged and challenged each other in dynamic ways, all with the overarching goal of conceptualizing AI that enables and encourages the enrichment and cultivation of human moral intelligence.
