The conference aims to bring together scholars from a range of disciplines to discuss the philosophical, ethical, and legal questions raised by the onset of the so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ and its emerging technologies. In some cases, the questions are long standing and recent technologies are leading to a novel reconsideration of them. In other cases, seemingly new questions are arising – questions that range from the ethical and legal to the epistemological and foundational.
Submissions are invited on the philosophical, ethical, and legal dimensions of, among others:
Algorithmic Automation
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Life
Big Data
Cyber Warfare
Data Mining
Deep Learning
Hypercomputation
Machine Learning
Open Data
Personal Data

Submissions from the following disciplines are especially encouraged:

Interdisciplinary submissions from the following disciplines are equally encouraged:
