The âEthics and AIâ Conference, initiated by a group of researchers affiliated with the Warsaw University of Technology, serves as an interdisciplinary forum bringing together AI engineers, philosophers, ethicists, and scholars of argumentation theory who are engaged with the ethical challenges posed by the rapid development of AI technologies. Following the success of the inaugural edition in 2024, we are pleased to announce the second iteration of the event. Our objective is to attract scholars from across the globe, representing a wide range of academic disciplines, thematic interests, and methodological perspectives.Â

Ethics and AI
The rapid advancement of AI-based technologies, accompanied by the emergence of novel ethical challenges, underscores the pressing need for integrative research that bridges the perspectives of AI engineers, philosophers, ethicists, and argumentation theorists. The
unprecedented development of artificial agents presents a unique opportunity to embed ethical reasoning within technological artefactsâsuch as robots, autonomous vehicles, and large language modelsâtransforming ethical theory from abstract reflection into a practical component of design and deployment. This includes the application of both deontological and teleological ethical frameworks to the broad domain of large language model (LLM) programming and machine ethics. Of particular interest is the question of whether classical moral conceptsâsuch as the principle of double effectâand virtues, including prudence, courage, justice, and especially benevolence, can meaningfully inform the ethical design and programming of digital systems. This interdisciplinary cooperation enables scholars to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and collaboratively address issues of profound societal relevance. At the same time, the pervasive influence of digital technologies on all spheres of life elicits both optimism and concern. There is an urgent imperative for ethical inquiry capable of evaluating these transformations in normative terms, including the critical assessment of prospects for moral and cognitive enhancement facilitated by AI.
We invite submissions from all disciplines that contribute to the relevant topics, and employ a variety of methods and approaches. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Ethical challenges of contemporary IT research
* Ethical conflicts related to the use, development and implementation of AI
* Ethics in AI and AI in ethics
