Forecasting the Future of Social Norms with Artificial Intelligence

Anticipate the future trajectory of social norms around AI technologies, while evaluating both optimistic and cautionary perspectives on the AI-human relationship from multiple disciplines.

As artificial intelligence technology is continuously developed and integrated into daily life, questions about how to approach these new technologies in a social environment become increasingly important. Join us as we bring together experts in the fields of AI and technology ethics to lay the groundwork for a white paper forecasting the trajectory of social norms in the context of advancing AI technologies.

Sessions will include:

Thematic group breakout discussions.
A multidisciplinary panel exploring how AI is transforming social norms, with Q&A from attendees.
Reflection and consolidation of key themes and insights into a structured white paper outline.
