CETINIA members organise URJC's Summer School on Ethics and Artificial Intelligence
CETINIA sponsored the summer course "Human-centred Artificial Intelligence: How to avoid the Turing Trap?". The school discussed not only the technical but also the ethical and legal challenges that we face in the design and use of artificial intelligences (including Chat-GPT). To this end, on June 26 and 27, experts in computer science and Artificial Intelligence, and in disciplines as diverse as decision sciences, philosophy and ethics, law, and art, met at the URJC headquarters in the Hospital San Carlos de Aranjuez. Ibán García del Blanco, MEP and member of the special committee on AI that is processing the bill to regulate the development of Artificial Intelligence in the EU had a (virtual) intervention during the closing ceremony. Additional resources: foto, chatGPT interview (in Spanish), press release (in Spanish).
