Imagining Ethical Horizons

Ethical Horizons

Join us and forge new interdisciplinary collaborations during a playful sandpit exploring ethical solutions to global challenges.

University of Strathclyde

<h3>Event description</h3>What if we solved the energy crisis and have deployed nuclear fusion energy production at scale? What if we had AI-trained virtual avatars who could make decisions on our behalf? What if could now universally recycle? What if we could manipulate time locally, slowing it down at our will?Science-fiction employs a ‘what if’ formula to explore ethical, cultural, political, and psychological impacts of innovations. Thinking about developments through this lens can help researchers think beyond the immediate outcomes of their work to imagine myriad future impacts.This workshop uses science fiction-inspired sandpits to explore imaginative and ethical responses to global challenges. Grounded in UKRI’s framework for Responsible Research and Innovation, the sandpits will promote creativity and play as tools for inclusive, interdisciplinary research development and ethics. The initiative will establish a collaborative interdisciplinary network, leveraging researchers' combined areas of expertise to respond to global challenges.More information here.
