The REAIM 2023 summit will be a platform for all stakeholders (governments, industry, civil society, academia and think tanks) to forge a common understanding of the opportunities, dilemmas and vulnerabilities associated with military AI. The TU Delft Digital Ethics Centre is organising an Academic Forum at the summit, with a focus on value-based design requirements and meaningful human control.

We invite you all to connect with us and we are looking forward to meeting you in 2023. As of January 2023, we will be hosting monthly playground meetings during lunchtime (free lunch provided); these will rotate between faculties. You are cordially invited to the first meeting on Wednesday 25th January: 12.30 – 13.30 at TPM.

As an extension of TPM’s Intersectional Feminist Philosophy of Technology (IFPT) reading group, we will host a 3-part speaking series to bring the language, concepts and methods of intersectional studies of technology to TPM’s AI research. We adopt the definition of “intersectional feminism” described by Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein in Data Feminism: “[…] a feminism that is intersectional, meaning it looks at issues of social power related not just to gender, but also to race, class, ability, sexuality, immigrant status, and more. It does so, moreover, by looking to collectives as well as individuals, to structural issues as well as specific instances of injustice.”

What is decoloniality, and how can you incorporate it into your work and studies?

This workshop is an effort between the Delft Digital Ethics Center and the World Health Organization. The workshop’s core topic is designing and operationalizing values in AI systems for healthcare and medicine. We intend to cover a myriad of values, including moral values (e.g., responsibility and accountability), medical values (e.g., beneficence and non-maleficence, compassion), epistemic values (e.g., explainability and trust), and social values (e.g., equal access to health services and transparency).

The Design for Values Institute and Digital Ethics Centre invite all to a workshop on Values and value assessment, taking place on Nov 23rd from 9 – 14 at Pulse Square (Landbergstraat 19, 2628 CE Delft).

In this hybrid workshop, we explore the parallel between two cases of non-human agents that make an important difference to the world: collectives and AI systems. Are humans always responsible for the actions of these entities, or could these entities be held responsible themselves? Can these entities be intentional and moral agents?
