SACP Listserv AI and Society
The East-West Center (EWC) is embarking on an intercultural, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary initiative to engage the societal challenges and opportunities that are emerging with advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning and big data. The purposes of the initiative are: to establish an ongoing forum for exploring differences in understanding the goal of aligning artificial intelligence with human values and societal wellbeing; to foster globally-shared commitments to equitable and humane artificial intelligence; and, to engage emerging perspectives on the evolving interplay of people, artificial intelligence, and related technologies.
The Humane AI Initiative will be launched in fall 2019 with an international symposium hosted at the East-West Center. The symposium will combine plenary lectures, small group discussions, and cooperative futures brainstorming in a spirit of thoughtful conviviality. Applications to participate in the symposium are welcomed from within academic, scientific, business, policy-making, activist and artistic/expressive communities.

The Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy was established in 1967 as a non-profit organization aimed at advancing the development of the disciplines of Asian and comparative philosophy in the international academic arena, and bringing together Asian and Western philosophers, as well as other scholars interested in Asian and world philosophy, for a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas. The Society seeks to provide the professional outlet for philosophers doing work in non-Western and comparative areas of philosophy. The group serves as the largest and most well-known professional organization for scholars in the fields of Asian and global philosophy.
