Opening Ceremony

The opening and closing ceremony of this conference was chaired by Wang Guoyu, dean of the Institute of Science and Technology Ethics and the Future of Humanity of Fudan University and professor of the School of Philosophy, Fudan University.

During the opening ceremony, Wang Guoyu introduced the background and topics of the meeting, as well as the mission, research direction of the Institute of Science and Technology Ethics and Human Future of China Association for Science and Technology - Fudan University, and the Institute of Research on the "Four One Projects" in the past year. ——Achievements in building a magazine, a laboratory, an academic platform for internal and external communication and an excellent research team. Wang Guoyu believes that the challenges brought by artificial intelligence involve both the contemporary and the future of mankind, both local and cultural, and many of them transcend national boundaries and culture. It is our shared responsibility to promote truly inclusive global dialogue under the guidance of our shared values ​​and commitment to safeguarding human dignity.

Speech session

Zhou Hu, deputy secretary of Fudan University, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He pointed out that artificial intelligence technology is changing with each passing day, and its profound impact has penetrated into all aspects of social life. It not only redefines the relationship between people and the world, but also reconstructs our acquisition, understanding and application of knowledge at a deep level. The way of reshaping human cognitive map to some extent. In March 2022, my country issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Governance of Science and Technology Ethics", emphasizing that strengthening the research on the theories and cutting-edge major issues of science and technology ethics and building a science and technology ethics governance system based on Chinese characteristics is important to ensure the healthy development of a community with a shared future for mankind. Measures. Fudan University has always been committed to promoting scientific and technological ethics at the education, research and practice levels. The convening of the international academic conference on "Intercultural Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Ethics" is an important measure for our school to further participate in the research topics of global artificial intelligence ethics. He hopes to build a continuously interactive international high-end academic exchange platform through this conference to jointly respond to global scientific and technological ethical challenges and help build a more responsible and sustainable technological future.

Zhang Shuangli, dean of the School of Philosophy of Fudan University, delivered a speech and warmly welcomed the guests. She pointed out that this event is an important part of the Fudan Philosophy Discipline Week, and the School of Philosophy has always been committed to supporting and developing high-quality academic platforms. The China Association for Science and Technology - Fudan University Institute of Science and Technology Ethics and Human Future has been established for more than a year, focusing on the key and difficult issues of scientific and technological ethics and committed to promoting interdisciplinary and cross-cultural academic dialogues in scientific and technological ethics. We look forward to scholars in-depth reflection on the problems of science and technology ethics and conduct high-level and cross-cultural academic dialogues at the conference.

The first meeting

The theme of the first conference was "Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence-Eastern and West Perspective".

Professor Coulberg published a report titled “AI & Good: a Cross- and”, combining different traditions between China and the West, linking the concept of Good to AI with the prospects for AI development, pointing out that in different ways Building a bridge of communication between cultures is of great significance to contemporary AI technology ethics.

Xu Yingjin, a professor at the School of Philosophy at Fudan University, published a report titled "and the of Data". He reinterpreted the economic implications of Confucian retro ideas from the perspective of historical materialism. He pointed out that individual privacy rights in the face of the contemporary world are generally greatly affected. Data technology threats, Confucian privacy concept based on clan consciousness, may be able to effectively supplement the Western liberal privacy concept based on individuals after experiencing the modern interpretation of the concept of "clan". The combination of small data technology and home robot technology, as well as the rational use of blockchain technology, may provide a practical technical carrier for the revival of the above Confucian information concept in the context of population aging.

Shiraishi, associate professor of the Department of Philosophy and Law, National Research Polytechnic University in Perm, Russia, published a report titled "Human-Robot (HRI) in : Value and ' '". She noted that robotic entry into society has promoted the establishment of human-computer interaction (HRI) as an interdisciplinary field of research. The ethical issues of human-computer interaction not only involve how a new technology should be correctly applied, but also include conflicts and integration between different values. The rapid growth of robotics may bring potential security and privacy issues, and we look forward to cross-border through friendly cross-border Cultural exchange and communication can contribute completely new solutions.

Second meeting

The theme of the second meeting was "Technology and Context".

Professor Cornan published a report titled “as the of and an of”. Based on his analysis of the relationship between artificial intelligence technology and modernity, he pointed out that modernity is a human trauma, and unfortunately it still governs our cooperation and unity in this world, despite being pessimistic about the future of mankind. Stand, but between disputes and disasters, we can still see human cooperation and exchanges, and we can see everyone united to meet challenges.

Wang Tianen, a professor in the Department of Philosophy at Shanghai University, published a report entitled "AI in". He pointed out that with the development of artificial intelligence, its ethical issues are becoming more and more important and special. On the one hand, the understanding of AI ethics is based on the understanding of AI itself and its development; on the other hand, the development of AI highlights the special situation of the development of ethics. Since the understanding of AI and its development is increasingly necessary to go deeper into the information level, based on the understanding of the perceptual relationship of information, AI ethics issues can be more well understood in the information context.

The third meeting

The theme of the third conference is “Ethical Considerations of Generative Artificial Intelligence.”

Professor Nordman published a report titled “Back and the End of.” He pointed out that the meaning of the author () is the original man, the creator of the world, the creator of text and behavior. The birth of the author shows that the author's status is overturned occurs in secular, ordinary, and in the redefined human-computer interaction, which highlights a new set of values ​​and new subjects. We are reconstructed ourselves when we see ourselves imitated from the technological mirror that replicates our behavior.

Duan Weiwen, a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a professor at the University of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, published a report entitled "as a -Moral Guide and Its". He pointed out that generative AI is a new stage in the development of computing intelligence and digital thinking, and its essence is to automatically generate a new generation space on the real space and data space. With the development of intelligent agents such as artificial intelligence navigation and "co-pilot", digital data-driven agents will become a mechanism to guide human agenda behavior, making AI the guide of our lives and our knowledge and A moral mentor brings us a new lifestyle characterized by intelligent domestication.

Zhao Yanyan, a professor at the Department of Computing at Harbin Institute of Technology, published a report titled "Large with Human". She pointed out that based on the large language model's understanding ability is similar to that of human abilities: Is human value calculating? Is human value at the individual level or the group level? What is the difference between value and morality? Three questions. She introduced the relevant tasks and algorithms for the alignment of values ​​of large language models, namely, detection and alignment from three levels: laws, regulations, morality, and psychological safety. Finally, she pointed out that the large language model still faces many challenges, such as human diversity values, conflicts between goals such as the "usefulness" and "harmlessness" of the large language model.

Andres Kaminsky, a professor of philosophy at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, published a report titled "Is It or Is It ? with the of a Key in AI and Its for the of", Through analyzing four cases, he pointed out that modern technology does not necessarily develop completely according to the designer's original design ideas, and it is difficult for people to imagine the actual consequences of each specific technology in advance. The main reason for the gap between technical design and actual consequences is the opacity of technology, that is, people's cognitive limitations make it difficult to imagine all possible situations in the future; the data, information and The relationship between expected goals is the opacity that leads to the above problems.

Fourth meeting

The theme of the fourth meeting is "Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Ethics".

Professor Glenwald published a report titled Al- as : The View on, pointing out that the "subversion" brought about by artificial intelligence is gradually accumulated and therefore is prone to neglect. But at the same time, the destructive power of this "subversion" is huge, which will threaten human freedom and independence and damage the openness of the future. Therefore, it is necessary to keenly capture the potential ethical issues of artificial intelligence from now on and actively think about coping strategies.

Researcher Cheng Sumei from the Institute of Philosophy, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, published a report entitled The of, pointing out that persuasion technology has been applied in many fields. Computing products with persuasion function will cover up their persuasion intention, limit users' free choice, and induce users' Internet addiction. To cope with these ethical challenges, we need to transcend the concept of dichotomy between theoretical ethics and applied ethics, expand the semantics and pragmatic scope of the concept of responsibility, shift from passively responsible technical ethics to active and responsible technical ethics, and establish ethics about the future.

The fifth meeting

The theme of the fifth conference is "Theoretical Foundation of Artificial Intelligence Ethics".

Professor Mitchem published a report entitled Arrangement of Two AI. He pointed out that when we talk about artificial intelligence ethics, it is not enough to have "ethics". Starting from the ethical tradition that began with Aristotle, we can see that ethical analysis and political thinking are equally important to artificial intelligence ethics. At the same time, he believes that it is not appropriate for artificial intelligence ethics to be just about "artificial intelligence". If we want to properly handle the negative impact of artificial intelligence, we must rely on changes at the socio-political level.

Professor Liao Beishui from the School of Philosophy, Zhejiang University, published a report entitled, Basic, and of, pointing out that the key way to solve the problem of how to give agents sufficient ethical considerations is to establish machine ethics based on human ethics. Machine ethics has four basic characteristics that are different from human ethics: (1) Current intelligent machines are manifested as weak subjectivity in ethical decision-making; (2) Ethical decisions of machines need to be obtained between the value demands of different stakeholders. Balance means social balance; (3) Machines are susceptible to cultural factors when making ethical decisions and should reflect cultural differences; (4) Machines need to explain ethical decisions to human subjects, understand emotional expressions, and attribute responsibility to the human subject. Therefore, good human-computer interaction is necessary.

Professor Li Hengwei, School of Philosophy, Zhejiang University, and others published a report titled Human-: The , , and they pointed out that both effective accelerationism and decelerationism strategies are trying to solve crises such as environmental damage and resource depletion through the path of human control technology. , however, these two perspectives are too simplified. The metaphor of Prometheus and Epimetheus reveals unpredictability in technological development and use, while the concept of the technology circle urges us to rethink how to find balance in this complex system composed of humans and technology. To achieve symbiosis of human and technological skills. As a hybrid existence of human-machine, Cyborg provides the possibility for realizing human-technical symbiosis.

Sixth meeting

The theme of the sixth session was “Ethics of Big Language Models.”

Professor Xiao Yanghua from the School of Computer Science and Technology of Fudan University published a report titled "The of AIGC ( ) in the Era of : Basic and", pointing out that the rapid development and wide application of artificial intelligence technology, especially AGI, will bring two sides to human society. Influence. On the one hand, AGI is expected to become an advanced productivity that promotes social progress. But on the other hand, the abuse of AGI may also bring a series of fundamental challenges to humans. AGI's comprehensive penetration and replacement of human mental labor will damage human core intellectual abilities and will have an impact on the fundamental question of "why do you want to be a human being". Therefore, AI technology should avoid causing harm to human nature to prevent AI abuse, and set guidelines for AI applications and should not be used excessively and unrestrictedly.

Professor Yan Hongxiu from the Institute of History and Science and Culture of Shanghai Jiaotong University published a report titled "Value and Trust". She pointed out that in the process of aligning human values ​​with artificial intelligence values, deceptive value alignment is an immoral strategy. Sexual trust completes the surface value alignment. This kind of deception involves man-machine deception, man-man-man deception and machine-machine deception. With the emergence of learning from weak to strong and self-alignment, the study of deceptive value alignment is not only a problem that must be solved in building a good human-tech relationship, but also a necessary condition for ensuring that artificial intelligence is good.

Professor Wang Guoyu published a report entitled From Value to Value : Its and, where she discussed the theoretical feasibility, implementation methods and limitations of "value alignment". Based on clarifying the connotation and importance of the concept of "value alignment", the report shares a number of original experimental studies conducted by Wang Guoyu's team. The conclusions of the research not only prove that the value alignment method of the current behaviorist approach can effectively improve the moral ability of large language models, but also reveal the limitations of this approach.

International Outstanding Young Scholars' Ethics Theory

During the meeting, an international outstanding young scholars' ethics forum was specially arranged. Zhu Linfan, a young associate researcher at the Institute of Science and Technology Ethics and Human Future of Fudan University, chaired the Youth Forum.

Jia Xiangtong, a professor at the School of Philosophy of Nankai University, gave a report on "Not Be a Fifth in", pointing out that an interpretability principle needs to be added to the principle of artificial intelligence ethics, and this principle should be integrated into the principle of openness to further consolidate artificial intelligence. Comprehensive framework of ethics.

Qu Jingjing, an associate researcher at the Governance Research Center of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, made a report on "for GPT with -". She pointed out that the advantage of using machine evaluation lies in its economics. According to her interview scale, she believes that China's large language model can be effectively enhanced. In the doctor-patient relationship, she also pointed out that real doctors make judgments on patients based on years of experience and command, and machines should be consistent with human command.

Teng Yan, a young researcher at the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Governance Research Center, gave a report "Human into LLMs: An of , , and" which introduced human values ​​to design values ​​and pointed out the ethical and technological challenges facing this practice. Its team is evaluating and improving it.

Alix Andra Kazakovva, a doctoral student at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a report on "In AI We Trust? The on AI in", she described the top-down artificial intelligence revolution and It points out that people produce a fragmented self-projection when interacting with artificial intelligence.

Closing Ceremony

During the exchange speech at the closing ceremony, Professor Wang Guoyu and the experts present at home and abroad imagined new progress and new challenges in the field of artificial intelligence technology and ethics in the future, and expressed their sincere gratitude to the guests and conference support staff attending the meeting. The convening of this international academic conference has effectively enhanced Fudan University's international influence in the field of artificial intelligence ethics and governance.
