UNESCO Roundtable on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
The fourth roundtable on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) “Challenges of AI Ethics and Governance: From Principles to Practice” will be held on 24 February 2022 from 12:00 to 14:00. The roundtable will be held online and will be open to the public. This roundtable will address a number of challenges that the governance of AI triggers from an ethical perspective. These include how to translate the ethical principles into practice; how to measure fairness and equity; and the incentives that may push the private sector to comply with ethical principles such as inclusiveness. You are cordially invited!
This year marks the fourth edition of a series of roundtables launched in 2018 by UNESCO with the support of Japan, with the aim of promoting international dialogue and raising public awareness of the ethical challenges related to Artificial Intelligence. This roundtable will be moderated by Emma Ruttkamp-Bloem, professor and Head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pretoria, a member of the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST).
Invited panelists are:
– Carlos Affonso Souza, Professor of Law at the Rio de Janeiro State University;
– Ellen Broad Associate Professor with the 3A Institute within the School of Cybernetics, at the Australian National University;
– Sabelo Mhlambi, Fellow at the Berkman and Klein Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University, Practitioner Fellow at Stanford’s Digital Civil Society Lab
– Favour Borokini AI and tech policy researcher with Pollicy, an award-winning Ugandan feminist collective and civic technology organization.

We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
