The Ethics and Politics of AIConcluding seminar of this year’s Philosophy Research Seminars series on Monday 5 May
Title: The Ethics and Politics of AI
Speaker: Dr Enrico Panai (Emlyon Business School, Paris)
Date: Monday 5 May 2025
Time: 17:30
Location: CHBO-311
Abstract:
The European Union (EU) promotes the use of standards in product regulation as part of its Better Regulation strategy. This integration enhances adaptability to market and technological changes while fostering harmonisation within the single market. Harmonised standards provide a presumption of conformity with legislative requirements, offering an economical and secure route to compliance. Although these standards are voluntary — a point often emphasised to defend the system against criticisms — it remains a relatively weak argument. In the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which introduces areas of high uncertainty, AI ethics emerges as a crucial tool to reduce such uncertainties.
