Robophilosophy 2024 – SOCIAL ROBOTS WITH AI: PROSPECTS, RISKS, AND RESPONSIBLE METHODS

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION – International Research ConferenceRobophilosophy 2024: SOCIAL ROBOTS WITH AI:PROSPECTS, RISKS, AND RESPONSIBLE METHODS
August 20-23, 2024 | Aarhus University, Denmark | www.rp2024.org

The recent technological leap in AI capacities accelerates the development of highly skilled social robots.  But it also increases longstanding concerns about the socio-cultural implications of this emerging technology.  The aim of the sixth international Robophilosophy Conference RP2024 is to address the socio-cultural, ethical, existential, and theoretical questions raised by the use of generative multimodal AIs in social robotics.  For this purpose, RP2024 will bring together international researchers from the Humanities and social sciences (specializing in HRI), social robotics, and computer science.

Join us (in person or remotely) for another installment of the world’s largest research events on Humanities research in and on social robotics, with 108 research talks in 18 sessions and 12 workshops.
