The Artificial Intelligence and Society discussion group is an interdisciplinary group, set up to discuss the social and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our members are drawn from several departments at the University of Otago, including Computer Science, Information Science, Philosophy, Law, Economics, Psychology, Zoology, Linguistics, and HEDC (the Higher Education Development Centre). The group has over 40 members; some of those who have given presentations are shown below.
Colin Gavaghan, Faculty of Law
James MacLaurin, Dept of Philosophy
Alistair Knott, Dept of Computer Science
Brendan McCane, Dept of Computer Science
Steven Mills, Dept of Computer Science
Martin Takac, Dept of Computer Science
Lisa Ellis, Dept of Philosophy / PPE program
Hannah Clark-Younger, Dept of Philosophy
Michael Winikoff, Dept of Information Science
Stephen Cranefield, Dept of Information Science
Paul Hansen, Dept of Economics
Mike Paulin, Dept of Zoology
Hunter Hatfield, School of Linguistics
Activities
- Our main current activity is a regular seminar series. This page holds a record of the seminars that have taken place.
If you would like to be on the mailing list for these seminars, please contact Alistair Knott (alik at cs dot otago dot ac dot nz) - Some of our members also run a project on Artificial Intelligence and Law in New Zealand, funded by the NZ Law Foundation. The project runs from 2017 to 2019.
