Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant concept it is becoming increasingly accessible and commonplace in our daily lives.

We’re using it to write our essays and job applications, plan our holidays, design our exercise routines, even provide psychological advice or substitute as romantic partners. 

There’s a lot of talk about global impacts, regulations and the economic ramifications. But on a personal level, is it ethical to adopt tools that outpace our own understanding? What does responsibility look like in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms? 

In this session, philosopher Dr Tim Dean and a special guest will tackle the ethics of using AI in our day to day. Is there anything we shouldn’t be using AI for? Why not? What responsibilities do we have when engaging with this technology? What makes AI different from a human – and does this matter?

This event is part of a series which includesThe Ethics of Care on 28 August and The Ethics of Manhood on 24 September. Save with a Multipack and see all three events: $99 in person or $33 livestream. 

Event live stream will be available to watch on demand for up to 14 days post-event. 

About 'The Ethics Of...'

‘The Ethics of…’ is an event series where we freely examine the experiences, hopes and challenges that make us truly human; from the good to the bad and everything in between. Each event is an intimate conversation, led by a philosopher, with opportunities for the audience to share their experiences, views and learn from each other. Join us for this important and interactive event, held both in person and livestreamed, about the ways we connect with each other.
