Debate on the ethical challenges presented by artificial intelligence. This meeting is being held on the occasion of the publication of the latest book by Adela Cortina, professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy at the University of Valencia, ‘Ethics or ideology of artificial intelligence? The eclipse of communicative reason in a technological society’. The author will also be joined by Vicente Botti, professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Polytechnic University of Valencia; Pablo Blázquez, founder and editor of the journal Ethic; and Domingo García-Marzá, professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy at the Jaume I University of Castelló. The round table will be moderated by José Félix Lozano, professor of Moral Philosophy at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Artificial intelligence was born full of promises and threats, arousing both enthusiasm and misgivings. Both enthusiasts and fearful people demand that it be provided with ethics to defend and empower human beings and nature; some even claim that we will be able to put an end to diseases, death and create a superior species that will inaugurate a world of peace and happiness.
