Can We Talk?

About the Event

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the concept of authorship is undergoing a profound transformation. What does it mean for your work to be your own? There is no single answer to this question and across academia those responses will likely differ based on the norms and values of different disciplines. This panel seeks to explore the shifting boundaries and ethical considerations of authorship in the age of AI and how those vary across fields, bringing together faculty from both the arts and sciences. How does AI challenge traditional notions of creativity and intellectual property? How should AI be credited (in contexts where it is appropriate to use)?  How might AI influence how we approach research misconduct? This panel will delve into these and other questions, aiming to uncover how we might navigate the complex terrain of authorship in the digital age. This event is part of the Can We Talk? conversation series. It is co-sponsored by the Mahindra Humanities Center, the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics and the FAS Artificial Intelligence Systems Working Group.

This event is part of the AI @ FAS Symposium on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Visit the symposium website for full schedule and event details.
