Online Course on THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

 Four days. Four major debates. Four internationally renowned invited professors.

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—and what might be lost along the way?

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:

 Daron Acemoglu — MIT economist and 2024 Nobel Laureate
Democracy, Work and Artificial Intelligence (25 August 2026)

 Brian Greene — Columbia University physicist, bestselling author and co-founder of the World Science Festival
Knowledge, Science, Education and Artificial Intelligence (26 August 2026)

 Roman V. Yampolskiy — University of Louisville computer scientist and leading AI-safety researcher
Medicine, Bias and Existential Risk of Artificial Intelligence (27 August 2026)

 Fernando Ribeiro — vocalist of Moonspell, writer and poet
Arts, Music and Artificial Intelligence (28 August 2026)

 25–28 August 2026
 16:00–18:00 New York | 13:00–15:00 Los Angeles | 21:00–23:00 Lisbon
 Live online via Zoom

 Designed for a general audience — no previous technical or philosophical training is required.

Across four evenings, the course will address questions that increasingly shape our collective future:

• Can AI strengthen democracy—or concentrate power?
• Will automation liberate workers—or deepen inequality?
• Can AI genuinely produce knowledge and creativity?
• How should education respond to generative AI?
• Can medical AI improve human life without reproducing discrimination?
• Could advanced AI become uncontrollable?
• What happens to artists, authorship and originality in an automated culture?

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—and whose interests it will ultimately serve.
