While the unprecedented technological advances in information technologies, robotics, AI, and related fields in recent decades have had a number of positive effects in almost every area of human life, they have also brought significant concerns. Some of the significant issues are, for example, machine bias in law, Big Data, autonomous weapons, the black box problem, machine/robot rights, and the future of (legal) education. This interdisciplinary conference aims to understand the mentioned issues more properly in their relation to the problem of how to regulate the development of smart technologies and robotics in order to increase the welfare of society without violating its fundamental values. Scholars from various disciplines such as law, philosophy, social sciences, information technologies, AI, and robotics are invited to submit their abstracts of their presentations (20min & 10min discussion).
Conference is organized within the framework of the project No 09.3.3-LMT-K-712-01-0173 that has received funding from European Social Fund under grant agreement with the Research Council of Lithuania (LMTLT).
