About the Symposium
The emergence of generative AI is transforming activities that have long been regarded as distinctively human, including intellectual work, creativity, communication, and moral judgment. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into human thought and action, questions about what humans can do, what humans ought to do, and why it matters that humans do it are acquiring renewed urgency.
Keynote speakers include Shannon Vallor, David J. Gunkel, Anna Puzio, and Kengo Miyazono. The program will also feature talks by early-career researchers based in Japan, bringing together international and local perspectives on AI, ethics, and the humanities.
This symposium brings together scholars in philosophy, ethics, and related disciplines to examine these developments from a humanities perspective. By exploring the ethical, social, and philosophical implications of AI, the symposium seeks to reconsider human self-understanding and to identify new directions for ethical reflection in the age of AI.
A related satellite event will also be held on 7 September 2026. Further details, including the program and registration information, are available on the symposium website.
