Winter Conference 2022

February 16, 2022 @ 9:00 am - February 17, 2022 @ 4:30 pm

Welcome to the third WASP-HS Winter Conference! The Winter Conference 2022 is an internal conference dedicated to the WASP-HS community, and to the WASP-HS PhD students in particular.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Winter Conference 2022 is moved online. The dates remain the same, February 16-17, and the work of structuring the program to allow all participants to interact and to discuss the talks, the posters, and the panel themes is in progress.

As the conference is moved online the platform COEO will be used to get away from the regular zoom format. More information about the setup will be given to you shortly.

All WASP-HS PhD students are invited to give oral presentations, poster presentations and partake in panel discussions.

There are several meetings happening parallel to the PhD student activities. The WASP-HS Research Leadership Programme will have a session on February 16-17.

Keynote

Shannon Valor, keynote speaker at WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society 2023

Shannon Vallor
Professor
University of Edinburgh

Keynote Abstract Sophisticated yet opaque algorithms increasingly constrain and shape what information we consume, what medical treatments we are advised to undergo, who will hire us, who we are invited to meet or date, how the justice system will treat us, and where we will be allowed to live. The lack of transparency in such processes raises profound ethical questions about justice, power, inequality, bias, freedom and democratic values in modern computing. Here I focus on a less commonly discussed concern: the potential for opaque algorithmic decision systems to lead to a contraction of what philosophers have called the space of moral reasons, a concept that underpins personal and public practices of moral reflection, moral responsibility, moral imagination, moral justification, and moral appeal. Using examples from jurisprudence, human resources, and law enforcement, I show why AI-driven contractions of the space of moral reasons should matter to us, and how we might instead use AI in ways that hold open and enlarge such spaces.
