联合国教科文组织于2018年9月11日在法国巴黎举行“人工智能：反思其复杂性及对社会的影响（Artificial Intelligence: Reflection on its complexity and impact on our society）”圆桌会议，旨在提高有关人工智能（AI）的最新发展及相关伦理挑战问题的认识。会议将由荷兰特文特大学哲学教授兼世界科学知识与技术伦理委员会（COMEST）成员Peter-Paul Verbeek先生主持，向公众开放。

圆桌会议的主题是 “人工智能的伦理问题”，目的是提高对人工智能的最新发展和相关伦理挑战的认识。汇集来自科学、法律、医学、生物学技术、伦理学、哲学和社会学的杰出专家，以及企业家、相关国际组织和公众，共同讨论上述议题，进而在国际层面上促成各领域的潜在合作。

尽管人工智能有改变人类未来向着更好、更可持续发展的方向转变的可能性，但亦有很多人担心人工智能引起的风险和挑战，尤其是进一步恶化现存的不平等和分歧、人权影响以及由基于人工智能技术的算法引起的潜在偏见。为了在风险管控的过程中预估可能出现的情况并抓住潜在机会，我们需要更全面地理解以下问题：技术将如何改变社会、考虑技术如何被控制以及将响应何种文化理解。

The roundtable will be organized on 11 September 2018, from 6:15pm to 8pm at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. The round table aims to raise awareness about the latest developments and related ethical challenges concerning AI. The round table will be moderated by Professor Peter-Paul Verbeek, Professor of Philosophy of Twente University, Netherlands, a member of World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST).

UNESCO organizes a roundtable on “Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI)” in order to raise awareness about the latest developments and related ethical challenges related to AI. The purposes of the roundtable are to bring together eminent experts in the field of science, law, medicine, biotechnology, ethics, philosophy and sociology, entrepreneurs, concerned international organizations, as well as the general public to discuss these issues, leading to potential areas of cooperation at the international level.

While AI has the potential to transform the future of humanity for the better and for sustainable development, there is thus also a prevailing awareness of the risks and challenges associated with AI, especially in terms of deepening existing inequalities and divides, human rights implications, and potential biases embedded in the algorithms of AI-based technologies. In order to sketch possible scenarios and unlock action potentials to grasp opportunities while managing risks, it is important to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how societies may be transformed by these technologies, taking account of how they are controlled and to which cultural understandings they respond.

Due to the potential global impacts of AI and the convergence of interests and actors, an intercultural dialogue is needed to take into account the different cultural approaches, and to identify risks and benefits.

The round table will be moderated by Dr Peter-Paul Verbeek, Professor of Philosophy of Twente University, Netherlands, a member of COMEST, and several other eminent experts are invited as speakers. Wide participation of Permanent Delegations to UNESCO, IBC and COMEST members, IGBC Member States, concerned international organizations, and the general public is expected. The round table will be accessible through livecasting to reach out broader audiences as well.

This event is open to public.
