Details

The conference aims to bring together scholars from a range of disciplines to discuss the philosophical, ethical, and legal questions raised by the onset of the so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ and its emerging technologies. In some cases, the questions are long standing and recent technologies are leading to a novel reconsideration of them. In other cases, seemingly new questions are arising – questions that range from the ethical and legal to the epistemological and foundational.

Papers will be welcomed on the philosophical, ethical, and legal dimensions of, among others: 

Algorithmic Automation

Artificial Intelligence 

Artificial Life

Big Data 

Cyber Warfare 

Data Mining 

Deep Learning

Hypercomputation 

Machine Learning
