European Ethics Bowl 2024: Artificial intelligence and ethics

In May, the fifth season of the international student competition European Ethics Bowl (EEB) will commence with the organization of a national competition at the School of Economics and Business. EEB is a competition in which students from all over Europe debate ethical dilemmas in the business environment. Each year, a new overall theme of the competition is determined. For this year, we have selected the topic of Artificial Intelligence and the ethical dilemmas associated with it.

All students of the University of Ljubljana and students of other Slovenian universities are invited to participate in the national qualification competition for the European Ethics Bowl, which will take place on Thursday, 23 May 2024 at 3:00 PM in the Senate Meeting Room at the University of Ljubljana, School of Economics and Business.

Each team consists of three students, who may be from different years, programs, levels of study or also from different faculties or universities. The group can also be made up of graduates, as long as no more than two years have passed since the date of completion of their studies.

At the national competition, we will select a team of students that will represent Slovenia at the international part of the EEB competition. The winning team will represent Slovenia at the semi-final competition, which will take place in November 2024 at the UL SEB.
