Voters are exercising their democratic right to vote in India, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, South Africa, and many other countries. At the same time, we are in the third A.I. &#8220;boom&#8221; and the explosion of A.I. tools based around Generative A.I. models has become a technological &#8220;arms race&#8221; with &#8216;Big Tech&#8217; companies competing to roll out their new or updated A.I. tools. Some of these developments have been controversial, and have already resulted in significant harms to individuals, groups, companies, and potentially to society at large &#8211; including impacting on democracy itself.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our workshop will explore what is happening with the latest boom in A.I., and whether the attempts to create legislation, regulations, and governance frameworks which can create &#8216;guardrails&#8217; around A.I. without stifling the drive to innovate and productise A.I. research and development is working.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our panel includes the Co-Editors-in-Chief of the Springer Nature journal AI and Ethics, as well as experts from the tech industries who are driving A.I. developments forward. The workshop will be interactive, and we hope for a lively audience debate!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 4th Workshop on \u201cArtificial Intelligence and Ethics\u201d (AI &amp; ETHICS) IS AI A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY?\u200b INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP Led by Professor John MacIntyre, Co Editor-in-Chief, AI and Ethics Short Bio:\u00a0John MacIntyre is Visiting Professor of Artificial Intelligence at a number of universities around the world and was a senior [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":59,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/816"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816"}],"version-history":[{"count":47,"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2131,"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/816\/revisions\/2131"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eannconf.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
