Seth Lazar was founding lead of the Humanising Machine Intelligence project, and recently launched the Machine Intelligence and Normative Theory (MINT) Lab, where he directs research projects on the moral and political philosophy of AI.
In this lecture, Lazar discusses the ways in which AI has altered our human relationships more than any single event or advancement in history. Political philosophy's central task is to help us decide how to live together by analyzing our social relations, diagnosing their failings, and articulating ideals to guide their revision. This lecture is designed to address this.
Seth Lazar, Professor of Philosophy at the Australian National University, an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow, and a Distinguished Research Fellow of the University of Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI. He has given the Mala and Solomon Kamm lecture in Ethics at Harvard University, and has published articles and books with the world’s leading journals and presses on the ethics of war, the ethics of risk, and the moral and political philosophy of data and AI.
