Coimbra Group Webinar: AI Ethics and Governance

Описание: The “AI Ethics and Governance” open webinar, organized by the Equality & Diversity Working Group with the support of the University of Padova, reflects the Coimbra Group’s strategic effort to explore with its members the impact, opportunities, and challenges that AI presents to higher education. It is a key component of an ongoing process of strengthened collaboration among CG member universities on this issue, including the establishment of an AI Inter-Working Group in June 2024. This webinar is one of several initiatives led by the Coimbra Group and its Working Groups to advance these discussions, introducing different perspectives and experts on the field. As a network, we are deeply committed to promoting innovation with well-being and social responsibility at its centre. These values remain at the core of our common vision in our AI.
