Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam welcomed the third edition of the AI & Ethics workshop, bringing together scholars in management, organization studies, information systems, and related fields who share an interest in the ethical and governance challenges of artificial intelligence.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in work, decision-making, and governance, organizations face complex moral questions about the values these systems reflect and the responsibilities they reshape. This year's edition, titled AI Ethics: Navigating Digital Moral Mazes and hosted by the KIN Center for Digital Innovation, offered a space to examine these questions through scholarly exchange and open discussion.
Keynotes and discussions
The workshop featured two keynotes. Anne-Rose Stolk and Tim Peute from the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights offered a practitioner's perspective on fundamental rights and AI, while Christine Moser (Department of Management & Organization, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) examined how AI organizing changes values and morality.
In paper sessions and roundtables, participants discussed how values and ethical principles take shape in practice, how responsibilities shift as organizations adopt and govern AI, and what we should allow AI to do in the future. A shared dinner gave participants the chance to continue their conversations in an informal setting.
Organizers
The event is organzaied by Tamara Thuis (KIN Center for Digital Innovation), Maura Soekijad (KIN Center for Digital Innovation), Elmira van den Broek (Stockholm School of Economics) and Constanze Kerres (WU Vienna).
