Cultured meat, also referred to as cultivated meat, lab-grown or in-vitro meat, represents a new approach to food production. It involves the growth of animal cells within a controlled environment, thereby eliminating the necessity of farming animals in order to produce meat.

We invite contributions that discuss the problem of artificial consciousness from metaphysical, epistemological, or ethical perspectives. Potential topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to dramatically impact the lives of non-human animals (hereafter: animals), for good or bad. It has opened a whole new range of possibilities to exploit and control animals while at the same time opening the way for understanding animals and communicating with them in a hitherto unimaginable way. The impacts of AI on humans receive a lot of attention, while the impacts of AI on animals and the human–animal relationship remain underexplored. For example, ethical guidelines on AI rarely discuss animals (Owe and Baum 2021; Ryan 2022).

Paper submissions are invited for the special issue of Philosophical Studies entitled: SI Superintelligent Robots. This special issue aims to explore the profound philosophical questions and ethical challenges posed by the advent of superintelligent robots.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving and increasingly widespread technology that significantly shapes the social, cultural, and political processes of our time. It is now evident that this transformation raises pressing ethical questions. An ethical approach to AI can serve as a crucial guide for regulation, which is becoming ever more important in this domain.

Special Issue Editors

In contrast to previous revolutions in technology and work, the professions are more vulnerable to impact and change from artificial intelligence.

I am excited to announce that the call is open for 1 PhD position within the PhD Programme in Science, Technology and Policy for Sustainable Change of the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy).

The editorial board of Síntese, one of the most traditional philosophy journals in Brazil (since 1959) published by the Department of Philosophy at the Faculdade Jesuíta de Filosofia e Teologia (FAJE), invites submissions for a special issue on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Call for Papers: Special Issue on "Ethics of Artificial Intelligence" Síntese – Philosophy Journal (FAJE)

The Centre for Philosophy and AI Research PAIR (University of Erlangen-Nuremberg), the Institute of Philosophy (Chinese Academy of Sciences), and Northeastern University - London are organising an online workshop on Agentic AI.  

Workshop dates: November 21st and 28th, 2025 

The aim of this 2-day international conference is to examine ethical and social perspectives on the impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous systems on the military, warfare, and the Just War tradition. There will be a strong focus on applied military ethics, but researchers from any relevant fields are encouraged to apply.

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting proposals for the ARRTI Female Excellence Award 2025.

Co-hosted by two Springer journals: SN Social Sciences and SN Business & Economics, it is part of their joint Permanent Collection “Sustainable Digital Development: Business, Values, and Governance”.

Deadline for abstracts: Aug 30th 
Abstracts (up to 500 words) should be submitted via email to Aisocietyncstate@gmail.com.

The expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems has shown great potential to generate enormous social good while also raising serious ethical and safety concerns. It is therefore important to apply interdisciplinary research methods and tools to comprehensively analyze the social and ethical implications of AI embodied in autonomous vehicles (AVs).
Importantly, AVs will take actions that directly affect human life and societal well-being. Thus, it is imperative to analyze ethical concerns related to AVs to identify at-risk populations, inform policy, and generate hypotheses for future empirical ethics research on AI. Identifying norms and accounting for multiple ethical issues related to AVs will increase public confidence that the diverse values of a pluralistic society can be successfully implemented.
