Collaborative Goals
This Working Group aims to foster long-term interdisciplinary research collaboration on the philosophical, social, and normative aspects of artificial intelligence (AI). Topics include the epistemology of synthetic data, the evaluation of language models, and fairness in data-driven decision making. The locations of our activities rotate over time: In Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 we will organize two public lectures, at Cornell and Syracuse University respectively. In Spring 2026, we will organize one manuscript workshop at the University of Rochester.
