A growing number of ethical guidelines aim to steer AI development toward respecting ethical principles such as fairness, transparency, accountability, and privacy. In the challenging quest to translate abstract ideals into actionable requirements, we risk losing sight of the outcomes they were intended to achieve. If AI guidelines were fully realized, what would the world actually look like? How would our relationships, communities, and institutions change (or not)? And is that what we want?

What do philosophy and ethics of technology mean in turbulent times? This is the question that we will explore in the next edition of our bi-annual conference, which will take place from 4-6 November 2026. We invite fellow scholars to submit a panel or session proposal, and/or register for participation.

Our event calendar features:

  • Internal ESDIT events (just for ESDIT fellows)
  • ESDIT events that are by invitation only
  • Public ESDIT events aimed at various target groups
  • Selected events by external organizers

So please check the event info to see if an event is also meant for you!
