Diversity and Global Perspectives on Responsible AI
The transnational nature of AI technology makes its use a global concern. However, the impacts of these technologies vary depending on cultural context and user group. In this session, we will discuss the growing need to understand how AI may be used or accepted by different societies or demographics and how the field can respond to the need for diverse perspectives.

Explainability and Guidelines for Responsible AI

The potential for explainable AI (XAI) techniques to improve trustworthy and responsible AI has become common conversation, providing a useful and meaningful technical compliment to ethical guidelines. But, where, when and how can XAI be an effective tool for AI governance? In this session, we explore what is meant by explainability in AI and how we can make it a useful guideline for developers and policymakers.

Keynote / Panel

Business Ethics and Managing Risk with AI
AI-enabled technologies have the potential to solve old problems, improve on old issues, but also introduce some new problems. Ethical risks can translate into economic risks for companies and AI developers. In this session, we ask: how do we incorporate principles from business ethics into the process of AI development and organizational structures in order to mitigate potential risks, while promoting conceivable gains? And, what challenges might organizations face in this endeavor?

AI for Mobility: Ethics and Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicle technology is set to play a major role is confronting issues related to mobility and efficiency, safety and environmental friendliness. However, the elimination of the driver poses numerous challenges and AI-enabled algorithms have to make difficult and controversial decisions about the actions of the vehicle. In this session, we ask experts: can we integrate ethical behavior into autonomous vehicles? And what challenge may emerge in this process?

AI Policy and Regulation
AI has enormous potential to both positively and negatively affect society. As the speed of technological development increases, how can we think about governing AI to exploit the positive implications and reduce the negative ones? In this session, we will explore the policy options and related challenges in regulating the development and use of AI with stakeholders from academia, industry and international organizations.
