We are happy to invite to our second international workshop “AI & Political Conflict”, a two-day, hybrid event scheduled for 30th May (Thursday) and 31st May (Friday) 2024, from 9:00 to 17:00 (CET), and taking place at the Philosophy Department in Bergen.

Our goal is to bring together prominent scholars from different disciplines to discuss the impact of AI-based platforms, and their underlying technological, normative, and economic principles, on political discourse, deep disagreement, and conflict.

The event will draw on the Boston-Bergen Forum on Digital Futures—an international research network among the ‘Culture, Society & Politics’ and the ‘Practical Philosophy’ research groups at UiB’s Philosophy Department, the MediaFutures Research Centre Bergen, the Applied Ethics Center at UMass Boston, and the MIT Program Human Rights and Technology.

Confirmed speakers for the event include
