The Paris Conference on AI & Digital Ethics 2026
The Paris Conference is a cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral meeting platform welcoming academics from various disciplines and stakeholders in the development of digital technologies from the industry, civil society, and politics.
A research conference that aims to advance the state of the art of research on the ethical, societal, and political implications of AI and digital technologies.
A meeting platform which offers a space for the international community of experts to gather, foster an open dialogue on major issues underlying the development of sociotechnical systems, and collaborate to address these issues.
