Virtuous AI?: Cultural Evolution, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtue

Monday, July 24th 2023, 7:00am to Wednesday, July 26th 2023, 12:00pm
Online Event, 2400 Ridge Rd Berkeley, CA 94709

Conference Schedule: Monday - Wednesday, July 24 - 26, 2023, 4 pm - 9 pm (Central European Standard Time; GMT+2), Presentation and discussion of the papers by participants with a short time for questions from the online audience.

The Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS) is hosting three online conferences in the summer of 2023 as part of its new grant, “Virtuous AI?: Cultural Evolution, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtue.” The final conference, from July 24-26, will be centered around the Central European standard time zone. The first two conferences centered around the time zones for California and Korea, respectively. This is to encourage participation by scholars from a wide variety of religious and philosophical perspectives, cultural traditions, and geographic locations. Register here.

The detailed daily schedule of the conference will soon be available on the CTNS website

Upon registration for the event, attendees will receive a link to the conference papers. In order to allow for the most useful discussion between participants, we are asking the papers to be read ahead of time. Each presenter will have 30 minutes which will allow for a brief 10-minute presentation of their paper followed by a 20-minute constructive dialogue with the other conference participants. The audience will be asked to submit their questions via chat and there will be several designated times for participants to respond to these questions.
