DESCRIPTION:Johan Rochel\nTitle: A computational-philosophical approach to
  the international law on AI\nAbstract:\nThis brief talk will provide an o
 verview of the research project I would like to start at the CDH. \nBecau
 se of the relevance it holds for virtually all emerging technologies\, AI 
 is seen as a promising case-study of how to address structural challenges 
 for international law on technology. A number of international actors have
  drafted ethical guidelines for AI governance\, placing the focus on value
 s such as autonomy\, accountability\, or digital sustainability. This res
 earch project builds on this momentum. The first general objective is to e
 valuate the contours of an international law on AI. The second general obj
 ective is to give this emerging international law a normative backbone by 
 drawing upon a specific doctrinal approach to international law\, thereby 
 drawing on a republican approach structured around a notion of freedom def
 ined as meaning an absence of domination. The third general objective is t
 o identify the lessons learnt from this republican international law on AI
  for international law on emerging technologies. The results will contribu
 te to theoretical issues in international law and help identify best pract
 ices for policymaking in the context of technologies. They will also impro
 ve international law’s capacity to address technological developments th
 at impact individuals and States alike.\nBio:\nDr. Johan Rochel is a postd
 oc researcher at the CDH. He teaches as part of the SHS programme "Ethics 
 of Robotics" and "Law and Ethics of AI". He is trained both as a philosoph
 er and as legal scholar. Beside his academic activities\, he is co-founder
  and co-director of a consulting company called "ethix - lab for innovatio
 n ethics". He commutes between Zürich\, Lausanne and Monthey (Valais) whe
 re he is part of the constitution-giving body.\n\n
