San Servolo Island, October 28, 10 am - 6 pm
Organized by Cultural Entrepreneurship Institute Berlin, in cooperation with Venice International University.
The aim of the Conference Ethics and Digitalization - Venezia (San Servolo), 28.10.2019 is to disseminate information on how to use the potential of artifcial intelligence for the beneft of both humanity and the planet itself.
The narrative surrounding artifcial intelligence, robotics, digitization and cybernetics has developed mainly from dystopian and dark visions of the future.
These fears are sometimes deliberately fuelled by political forces that with irrational messages and unreasonable promises attract crowds and feed social media platforms, or manipulate referendums and elections. Dictatorships and illiberal democracies (!) have long been using the potential of computer processes to control citizens and build consensus.
The regulation of tech giants and networked data protection that began a year ago in Europe must continue in a way that guarantees transparency and the right to privacy, reducing inequality and waste of resources while enhancing - gendered - innovation and sustainable growth.
Many institutions, businesses and some parts of civil >society are now also open to solutions in this direction.
We chose Venice as the location for the conference - and specifcally the Venice International University on the Island of San Servolo - not only because we greatly value the work they do and the commitment they show, but also because its unique liquid aesthetic supports navigation through both knowledge and the unknown.
For this reason, the conference on 28th October should be the first in a series of events.
The following speakers have already confirmed:
Barbara Carfagna - Journalist and anchor RAI1, author Codice, Italy
Ginevra Castellano - Uppsala University, Sweden
Carlo Giupponi - Dean Venice International University, Italy
Riccardo Pozzo - Philosophy, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy
