/Dr Carsten Stahl will be presenting*February 21^st , 9-10:30am*, on 
*Artificial Intelligence for a Better Future: An Ecosystem Perspective 
on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital Technologies*.****Smart 
information systems (SIS) are systems that incorporate artificial 
intelligence techniques, in particular machine learning and big data 
analytics. These raise significant hopes, for example to better 
understand and cure diseases, but also to revolutionise transport, to 
optimise business processes or reduce carbon emissions. At the same 
time, they raise many ethical and social concerns, ranging from worries 
about biases and resulting discrimination to the distribution of 
socio-economic and political power and their impact on democracy. /

//

/Drawing on the findings of the SHERPA project (www.project-sherpa.eu 
<http://www.project-sherpa.eu>), the presentation will suggest that one 
perspective to better understand these systems and their social and 
ethical consequences is to use the metaphor of an ecosystem to describe 
them, a metaphor already widely used in the policy discourse on AI. The 
talk will analyse what the use of the ecosystem metaphor means for the 
evaluation of ethical issues of smart information systems and which 
conclusions can be drawn from it and how these can inform 
recommendations for policymakers and other stakeholders. /
