Facing the dilemma: Artificial intelligence and ethics

Are you intrigued by the promise of artificial intelligence and the innovative solutions it offers, or are you apprehensive about its rapid development and potential lack of oversight? Are you caught somewhere between excitement and concern? And what role do ethics play in all of this? Do you think the debate about the ethical aspect of artificial intelligence is important? Would you like to share your opinion on artificial intelligence and ethics with like-minded people across Europe?

We invite all students from the University of Ljubljana and students from other Slovenian universities to participate in the national qualifying competition of the European Ethics Bowl, where we will select a team of students to represent Slovenia at the European Ethics Bowl (EEB). The winning group will represent Slovenia in the semi-finals, which will take place in November 2024 at the University of Ljubljana, School of Economics and Business.

The national competition will take place on Thursday, 23 May 2024 at 3:00 PM in the Senate Meeting Room at the UL SEB. You can read more about the application process HERE. For anyone who would like to apply but still has questions, we will be available for an online Q&A session on 14 May 2024 on thisZoom link https://uni-lj-si.zoom.us/j/3475687902?omn=99140316259. You can join us anytime between 15:00 and 16:00 and we will answer all your questions.

Each group consists of three students, who may come from different years, study programmes, study levels or even different Schools or Universities. The group can also consist of university graduates, as long as no more than two years have passed since they completed their studies.

European Ethics Bowl is a student competition where students from all over Europe discuss ethical issues in the business environment. The competition is now in its fifth consecutive year. Currently ten European universities and the European Investment Bank Institute are taking part in the competition. Ethical dilemmas are presented to students in the form of case studies. Groups of students present their views on ethical dilemmas in a short video, followed by a debate and questions and a judgement by the jury.
