How is fairness conceptualised in AI Ethics?
Join us for a free and open to all (subject to room capacity) lecture by Abeba Birhane on "The Limits of Fairness" in AI ethics.
This event is co-sponsored with AI Ethics and Society (AIES), a group based at the University of Edinburgh that facilitates events exploring societal and ethical facets of artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies, with a particular focus on building a community of early-career researchers; you can learn more here.
The event will take place in person, at the University of Edinburgh’s INSPACE venue (map link), and will be followed by a drinks reception.
