The 3nd Conference Ethics and AI Towards a New Ethos of AI

Conference ETHICS and AI, The 3rd Edition: Towards a New Ethos of AI

We are entering a historic moment in which artificial intelligence is no longer simply a tool that supports our processes, but is becoming a personal technology — one that co-decides, recommends, communicates, and increasingly acts on our behalf. Personalised AI systems are already reshaping education, business, politics, and the everyday choices we all make, as the market moves faster than regulation can follow and ethical reflection races to keep pace with innovation. At the same time, a real and urgent tension defines this transformation: increasingly sycophantic LLMs optimised for user satisfaction and engagement risk enclosing individuals within epistemic bubbles; powerful AI ideologies promoted by major technology leaders frame rapid deployment as unquestionable progress; and regulatory frameworks continue to struggle to respond adequately to the speed and scale of change. The Ethics and AI conference grows out of this tension and from the conviction that it deserves serious, open, cross-disciplinary conversation bringing together AI engineers, philosophers, ethicists, and argumentation researchers to jointly examine the design, social, and political decisions shaping the future of technology. Our interest goes beyond compliance: we ask a deeper question about ethos — what values, what model of responsibility, and ultimately what worldview we are embedding in the systems we build, and what this means for our shared digital society. We seek to articulate a new ethos for AI design, capable of translating responsibility, justice, and kindness into technological practice, and of guiding the development of benevolent AI — not merely persuasive or adaptive, but genuinely benevolent, trustworthy, and oriented toward the common good and a resilient digital society.
