FCAI Society
FCAI Society is an interdisciplinary group of experts with the goal of analysing AI technology as a social and societal game changer. Founded in March of 2018, FCAI Society has sought experts from philosophy, ethics, sociology, legal studies, psychology and art to explore the impact AI will have in all aspects of our lives.
FCAI Society will work, first and foremost, by facilitating dialogue both between technical AI researchers, humanists and social scientists, but also the general public. This means taking part in public events around the subject, providing expert council and sparring for public AI ventures, and promoting public discourse by way of publications and an upcoming podcast series.
