Tech Ethics Series

Workshops series sponsored by the Office of Research and the Raul Deju Institute for AI

Ethics reside at the core of the research process, and new ethical challenges arise with generative and agentic AI. Organized by Professor Chris ChoGlueck, this series in Tech Ethics aims to support and improve knowledge about the ethics of technology, including ML and AI, and create a culture of integrity, inclusion, and equity in research. We offer regular workshops that foster awareness and discussion and build a network of support among researchers. All are invited to participate in these conversations about ethics & integrity in our research communities at NMT.
