Theme and Focus
‘Engineering Ethics’ holds multiple meanings. It can encompass the applied practice of engineers, and the all-important sensitivity to the difficult and nuanced moral normative aspects of their profession. But it also evokes the realization of systems that are designed, engineered, to promote more ethical outcomes. The questions raised by ‘Engineering Ethics’ are as varied as they are subtle and challenging, and we invite submissions that address any and all aspects of this theme.
In addition to the above focus for this conference, IACAP more broadly has a long-lasting tradition of promoting philosophical dialogue and interdisciplinary research on all aspects of a computational and informational turn. This puts it in a privileged position, as IACAP’s members have contributed to shaping the philosophical and ethical debate about computing, information technologies, and artificial intelligence. The 2022 annual meeting will continue this tradition and will gather philosophers, ethicists, roboticists, and computer scientists and engineers interested in the following topics:
-
Artificial Intelligence
-
Artificial Life
-
Automated Warfare
-
Cognitive Science, Computation & Cognition
-
Computational Modeling in Science and Social Science
-
Computer-Mediated Communication
-
Ethical Problems and Societal Impact of Computation and Information
-
Ethics of Big Data
-
History of Computing
-
Information Culture and Society
-
Metaphysics of Computing
-
Philosophy of Information
-
Philosophy of Information Technology
-
Robotics
-
Virtual Reality
… and related issues
The meeting will focus on topics at the core of IACAP members’ interests. Symposia will also be organized and run by members, or groups of members, to focus on more specific topics. We invite submissions of extended abstracts (up to 1000 words) as well as submission of proposals for symposia.
