Online Course - Ethics of AI

🤖 Online Course on *THE ETHICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE*


🌍 Four days. Four major debates. Four internationally renowned invited
professors.



Artificial Intelligence is already transforming how we work, learn, create,
govern societies, practise medicine, and understand what it means to be
human. But who benefits from this transformation—and what might be lost
along the way?

Join philosopher and AI ethicist *Steven S. Gouveia* for an intensive
four-session online course examining the most urgent ethical, social,
scientific, and political questions raised by AI.

Each session combines an accessible lecture with a live debate featuring a
leading international figure:

🔹 *Daron Acemoglu* — MIT economist and *2024 Nobel Laureate*
*on Democracy, Work and Artificial Intelligence*

🔹 *Brian Greene* — Columbia University physicist, bestselling author and
co-founder of the World Science Festival
*on Knowledge, Science, Education and Artificial Intelligence*

🔹 *Roman V. Yampolskiy* — University of Louisville computer scientist and
leading AI-safety researcher

*on Medicine, Bias and Existential Risk of Artificial Intelligence*

🔹 *Fernando Ribeiro* — vocalist of *Moonspell*, writer and poet
*Arts, Music and Artificial Intelligence*

📅 *25–28 August 2026*

⏰ *21:00–23:00 Porto | 16:00–18:00 New York | 13:00–15:00 Los Angeles*
💻 *Live online via Zoom*

🗣️ Designed for a general audience—no previous technical or philosophical
training is required.

Across four evenings, we will confront questions that increasingly shape
our collective future:

·       Can AI strengthen democracy—or concentrate power?

·       Will automation liberate workers—or deepen inequality?

·       Can AI genuinely produce knowledge and creativity?

·       How should education respond to generative AI?

·       Can medical AI improve human life without reproducing
discrimination?

·       Could advanced AI become uncontrollable?

·       What happens to artists, authorship and originality in an automated
culture?

This is not simply a course about new technology. It is an opportunity to
examine the political, ethical and human choices that will determine how AI
is developed—and whose interests it will ultimately serve.
