DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) and the information age are bringi
 ng us more knowledge about ourselves and each other than any society has e
 ver known. Yet at the same time\, it creates machines which are seemingly 
 more capable of every human endeavour than any human could be. What are th
 e limits of AI and of intelligence and humanity more broadly? What are our
  ethical obligations to machines? Do these alter our obligations to each o
 ther? What is the basis for these social obligations? In this talk I will 
 argue that there are really only two problems that humanity (or any other 
 species) has to solve. These are sustainability and inequality\, or put an
 other way\, security and power. Or put a third way\, how big can we make t
 he pie and how do we slice that pie up? Life is not a zero-sum game\; we a
 nd many other species use the security of sociality to construct public go
 ods where everyone benefits. But still\, every individual needs enough of 
 the pie in order to thrive and this is the challenge of inequality. I will
  argue that understanding these processes is not only essential to survivi
 ng the challenges of the climate crisis\, but also helps us answer the fun
 damental questions of ethics and social obligation. I will also examine ho
 w AI is presently affecting both of these problems. I will close with conc
 rete policy recommendations for managing AI and our society. \nJoanna Brys
 on will join the Hertie School in February 2020 as Professor of Ethics and
  Technology. Her research focuses on the impact of technology on human coo
 peration\, and AI/ICT governance. From 2002-19 she was part of the Compute
 r Science faculty at the University of Bath. She has also been affiliated 
 with the Department of Psychology at Harvard University\, the Department o
 f Anthropology at the University of Oxford\, the School of Social Sciences
  at the University of Mannheim and the Princeton Center for Information Te
 chnology Policy. During her PhD she observed the confusion generated by an
 thropomorphised AI\, leading to her first AI ethics publication “Just Anot
 her Artifact” in 1998. In 2010\, she co-authored the first national-level 
 AI ethics policy\, the UK's Principles of Robotics. She holds degrees in p
 sychology and artificial intelligence from the University of Chicago (Bach
 elor of Arts)\, the University of Edinburgh (Master of Science and Master 
 of Philosophy)\, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhD).\nPrior r
 egistration is not required.
