Philosophy and AI workshop supported by the IDEA Centre at the University of Leeds. The talks were on the fields of philosophy , artificial intelligence, data ethics and related areas.
​
We wanted to facilitate integration of philosophical concerns and technical approaches to technology - so we welcomed attendees from philosophy, computer science, engineering, and any other areas that value and welcome philosophical issues raised by AI.
​
The workshop was held online and with extended Q&A sections to facilitate the dialogue between speakers and attendees.
