AI Ethics and Governance Symposium

Description

The Johns Hopkins AI Ethics and Governance Symposium will bridge parallel, siloed conversations across disciplines and domains. We will bring together experts in artificial intelligence, AI ethics, safety, assurance, and algorithmic fairness to synthesize and map an approach to shared and domain-specific issues in AI ethics and governance, in four key areas: 1) defense and security, 2) biomedicine and health care, 3) transportation, 4) and democracy. Bringing together diverse science, humanities, and engineering scholars, technologists, and policymakers, the symposium will explore issues across the spectrum of AI innovation, from foundational computer science and engineering to large language models and autonomous machines.

Sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, the Data Science and AI Institute, the Institute for Assured Autonomy, and the AI & Society Bloomberg Distinguished Professors Cluster, this day-long public symposium will engage in the critical work of bridging siloed conversations and literatures, and help build an interdisciplinary community to work toward a future where the development and application of AI is aligned with societal needs, interests, and values.
