Redesigning AI
Fully booked
The Institute for Ethics in AI and the Oxford Martin School are pleased to announce an exclusive event featuring a keynote address by distinguished economist Professor Daron Acemoğlu, followed by commentary from expert panellists.

Professor Acemoğlu’s talk will argue that the current path of AI is inimical to human flourishing. Nevertheless, different institutional arrangements, ethical underpinnings, and technological vision can lead to better AI. This better AI path will need to overcome the industry’s excessive focus on automation, the centralised control of information, challenges in the context of human-AI misalignment, and the disappearing diversity of information among human actors.
