Can computers achieve a form of intelligence that far surpasses human intelligence\, i.e.\, can we reach the so-called Singularity? Does the Singularity pose an existential threat to humanity? Can computers be conscious? Can we communicate and share a language with AI? Can and should decisions made by AI be explainable to humans? What is algorithmic bias and what can be done about it? What are our moral obligations towards AI?\nNumber of seats for observers/visitors\n4 seats per session (Enrolment will be on a first-come\, first-served basis.)\nPurpose of the Session\nIdentify and analyze the problems associated with applying the principles of classical just war theory to the design\, possession\, and deployment of lethal autonomous weapon systems.
