Bias and technology
How innovation and technological produce can be representative of all in society? How to include diversity in the development of new technology and move away from “the Default Male” and biased perspectives? These questions will set the tone for the panel debate and uncover solutions, ways, and methods for inclusive technological advancements benefiting all, and not only half of the population.
Panelists:
Irina Shklovski, Professor of Communication and Computing, University of Copenhagen
Ansgar Koene, EY Global AI Ethics and Regulatory Leader

Technology is not neutral
It seems that just about every new technology that we bring to bear on improving our lives brings with it some downside, side effect, or unintended consequence. These issues can pose very real and growing ethical problems for all of us. How do we understand and frame these debates, and work out strategies at personal and governmental levels? The keynote will provide answers to this question drawing on the main findings from the book: Technology Is Not Neutral: A Short Guide to Technology Ethics.
