Join the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), incubator for Media Education and Development (iMEdD), and the SNF Agora Institute on Wednesday, August 25th at 11:30 a.m. ET (6:30 p.m. EET) for an open discussion during the SNF Nostos Festival on the topic of “Humanity-AI Symbiosis.”
Guided by expert perspectives and driven by the audience’s curiosity, this DIALOGUES discussion will approach the ethical, philosophical, and social issues that arise from the use of developed AI systems in our everyday life and what the future holds for society and democracy. A live discussion with an AI system will be also presented, giving food for thought and creating room for further discussion. The event will conclude with a Q&A with young people.
Panelists:
- Stelios Virvidakis, professor of philosophy, department of history and philosophy of science, NKUA
- Ethan Zuckerman, associate professor of public policy, communication and information, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
