Philosophy and AI : 'The Shape of Ethics'

Description

How should we think about ethics in an age transformed by AI? Since the 1950s, philosophers have often divided ethics into two strands: first-order theories about how we should act, and second-order (“metaethical”) reflection on those theories. But does this mid-20th-century framework still work for today’s challenges?

In this session, we’ll question that traditional schema and explore a richer alternative. Drawing on Iris Murdoch and other influential thinkers, we’ll consider how imagination can reshape ethical thought - and how philosophy must evolve to meet the demands of our technological age

You’ll also get an inside look at postgraduate study at Northeastern University London, including an overview of the MA Philosophy and AI programme and a live Q&A with our expert panel.
