A workshop on Sept. 27 and 28 at the Law School sought to bring together the best philosophical work on normative questions raised by computing. Since AI and related advanced computing technologies are already embedded in society, MINT Lab argues that “we need to know just how its use can be justified. To do this, we need to develop a robust new subfield: the normative philosophy of computing,” according to its website. The conference further addressed social epistemology, social philosophy of language, aesthetics, and normative approaches to philosophy of science and philosophy of the mind. The conference was sponsored by the Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fund at Yale Law School and Schmidt Sciences AI 2050.
