Ethics of AI Webinar

  • Friday, November 27, 2020 - Friday, November 27, 2020

What is ethical artificial intelligence? How can public administrations and companies utilise artificial intelligence in a fair manner? These are the questions that will be explored in the webinar organised by the University of Helsinki, City of Helsinki and Finnish Centre for Artificial Intelligence on Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. 27 November.

Welcome to the webinar on Friday, Nov. 27, 2020 at 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. (UTC +2)

Artificial intelligence is being increasingly used to support decision-making relating to citizens. What ethical considerations must be taken into account by users and developers of AI systems? What are the ethical pitfalls of processing personal health information, for example?

The Ethics of AI webinar will shed light on the ways in which public administrations in Finland and abroad are responding to these questions. The event will be organised by University of Helsinki, Finnish Centre for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) and City of Helsinki.


A new Ethics of AI online course opens

A new open and free Ethics of AI online course will also be introduced during the event. The course provided by the University of Helsinki will help public administration, companies and citizens understand what the ethical use of artificial intelligence actually means and what it requires from society and individuals. The course was prepared in cooperation with the cities of Helsinki, Amsterdam and London, and the Ministry of Finance.
