As part of the Desirable AI programme – a collaboration between Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the University of Cambridge – this interdisciplinary conference, will explore the profound implications of large language models (LLMs), affective computing, and emotionally responsive AI. As machines venture into realms once thought uniquely human – emotion, creativity, irrationality – we ask: What does this mean for language, ethics, and the future of human expression? We welcome theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions from schola...

We are convening this workshop to foster synergies among scholars across diverse disciplines to reflect on the integration of data-driven tools and digital logics into agrifood systems and environmental policy and management. We are interested in i) the drivers, interests, institutional contexts, and development strategies structuring investment and innovation, ii) how questions of ontology and knowledge systems can inform analyses of innovation processes, with particular attention to the biases, assumptions, exclusions and relations of power embedded in data and design, and iii) progressive e...

The Craft of Science with AI: Evidence, Judgment, and Practice, convened online by Data & Society’s AI on the Ground program on March 19-20 2026, is a workshop about doing science when AI is in the loop. It asks a central, field-building question: What does it mean to do science with AI? What counts as evidence and theory-building explanation, how is scientific judgment exercised, and what gets foreclosed in the process?
As AI is integrated into scientific practice, the practice of science itself is changing. AI models that summarize, categorize, simulate, and predict not only sta...

In recent years, perhaps stimulated by the growing awareness of the power of digital technologies, there have been calls for engineers and designers to advance values ‘by design’, such as democracy, participation, privacy and transparency. This builds on earlier inclusive design and access-for-all initiatives. But not all encounters with technologies are fulfilling, and some are designed to exclude or harm people, animals and nature. This workshop focuses on those technologies that could be described as hostile or exclusionary by design.
The workshop is supported by the Maastric...

This symposium explores Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a catalyst for rethinking foundational debates in agency, ontology, epistemology, and ethics. Contemporary AI systems—whether seen as radically externalized, affective, distributed, simulated, or emergent—have striking precedents in medieval scholastic inquiries into non-human intelligences. Angelic intellects, demonic adversaries, and phantasmata (machines of illusion) were central figures in premodern ontologies, raising enduring questions about the nature of intelligence, will, and moral accountability. IACAP/AISB Conferen...
