I am one of the organizers of a Lilly Endowment-funded project called “Ethics, Values, and Technology: Developing Character for a Digital World” (https://digitalethics.iu.edu).   As part of that project, we have been hosting a series of talks on ethics and AI.  Although the series is not explicitly historical, it touches on many issues relevant to the SIGCIS community.   And upcoming speakers include folks familiar to SIGCIS like Mar Hicks and Sarah Roberts.

Tomorrow (3/18/21) we will be hosting a talk by Bran Knowles of Lancaster University.  She will be talking on “public trust in AI.”  The talk is open to anyone, and so please join us if you are able.  The URL is https://iu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8ldW5BxiQP6CVxm2CIeuRw

The talk is a little later than usual, so we will be starting on 4pm EST on Thursday, March 18.  We will be done by 5pm.
