Welcome to the 1st WASP-HS Conference on AI, Humanity and Society – a meeting place for dialogue on humanity and societal aspects on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems transform the way we work, live our lives and solve problems. This technology has the potential to improve people’s well-being and contribute to social and environmental sustainability. At the same time, we also see an increased concern about the potential risks with AI. Massive efforts create many opportunities to shape how the society and people’s everyday life develop. Welcome to participate in the dialogue!
The program includes panels with leading researchers and practitioners, and a musical intermezzo based on AI generated music. The full program will be announced soon.
