DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Online</strong><strong> Course on THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL I</strong><strong>NTELLIGENCE</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Four days. Four major debates. Four internationally renowned invited professors.</strong></p>\n<p>Artificial Intelligence is already transforming how we work\, learn\, create\, govern societies\, practise medicine\, and understand what it means to be human. But who benefits from this transformation&mdash\;and what might be lost along the way?</p>\n<p>This intensive four-session online course examines some of the most urgent ethical\, social\, scientific\, and political questions raised by AI. Each session combines an accessible lecture with a live debate featuring a leading international figure:</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Daron Acemoglu</strong> &mdash\; MIT economist and 2024 Nobel Laureate<br><em>Democracy\, Work and Artificial Intelligence </em>(25 August 2026)</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Brian Greene</strong> &mdash\; Columbia University physicist\, bestselling author and co-founder of the World Science Festival<br><em>Knowledge\, Science\, Education and Artificial Intelligence</em> (26 August 2026)</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Roman V. Yampolskiy</strong> &mdash\; University of Louisville computer scientist and leading AI-safety researcher<br><em>Medicine\, Bias and Existential Risk of Artificial Intelligence </em>(27 August 2026)</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Fernando Ribeiro</strong> &mdash\; vocalist of Moonspell\, writer and poet<br><em>Arts\, Music and Artificial Intelligence </em>(28 August 2026)</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>25&ndash\;28 August 2026</strong><br>&nbsp\;<strong>16:00&ndash\;18:00 New York | 13:00&ndash\;15:00 Los Angeles | 21:00&ndash\;23:00 Lisbon</strong><br>&nbsp\;<strong>Live online via Zoom</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Designed for a general audience &mdash\; no previous technical or philosophical training is required.</strong></p>\n<p>Across four evenings\, the course will address questions that increasingly shape our collective future:</p>\n<p>&bull\; Can AI strengthen democracy&mdash\;or concentrate power?<br>&bull\; Will automation liberate workers&mdash\;or deepen inequality?<br>&bull\; Can AI genuinely produce knowledge and creativity?<br>&bull\; How should education respond to generative AI?<br>&bull\; Can medical AI improve human life without reproducing discrimination?<br>&bull\; Could advanced AI become uncontrollable?<br>&bull\; What happens to artists\, authorship and originality in an automated culture?</p>\n<p>This is not simply a course about new technology. It is an opportunity to examine the political\, ethical and human choices that will determine how AI is developed&mdash\;and whose interests it will ultimately serve.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Registration and information:</strong><br></p>\n<p><strong><u>aiethicscourse@gmail.com</a></u></strong></p>\n\n&nbsp\;\n<p>Places are limited.
