AI Ethics from the Majority World: Reconstructing the Global Debate through Decolonial Lenses, 23. - 24. May 2024

Bonn: Bonn University, Institute for Science and Ethics (IWE) (2024)
"To foster a multifaceted perspective on AI ethics, a pluriversal approach needs to be employed. This two-day workshop “AI Ethics from the Majority World: Reconstructing the Global Debate Through Decolonial Lenses” offers a forum to discuss alternatives to the status quo of AI ethics. Hosted by the University of Bonn’s Institute for Sciences and Ethics, the workshop aims to advance a reconstruction of the proliferated perspectives of AI ethics, dominantly shaped by ethical standards from historically hegemonic groups in the Minority World, by examining the plural decolonial schools of thought that challenge the positions that have shaped AI development worldwide."
