Communication Campaign for the CONFERENCE CYCLE on Ethics & AI
Check out The House of Ethics™ bilingual communication campaign for the Conference Cycle on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Ethics.
"I A à Dire / IA -t-il..."
&
"A Impact - What If..."
designed by TAKANEO which tackles human, technical and societal impacts caused by a potential erosion of ethics in the Age of AI.
Thus underscoring the crucial role of ethics in shaping our collective cyber-physical future.
By using the traditional Socratic questioning we invite the audience to critical thinking on three key issues:
the risk of a planned obsolescence of ethics by disruption and deregulation
the danger of data laundering and knowledge bleaching through generative AI
the temptation of ghosting ethics by suffering chronic ethical burn-out

« L’éthique digitale n’est pas
un hobby. Avec l’intelligence
artificielle qui infiltre notre
quotidien, elle devient identitaire
et endémique. Elle détermine
notre être, conditionne nos choix
et façonne notre ADN. » [Katja Rausch]
