TOPIC AREAS

The Conference is structured around 4 major topics:

Topic 1. Science, development, and validation of artificial intelligence:

This Topic will offer a rigorous and accessible overview of the scientific and technological foundations of artificial intelligence. It will examine how AI systems work, their training, validation, and applications, as well as the possibilities and limits of generative AI. It will also study issues such as algorithm explainability, bias, reproducibility, robustness, and safety as necessary conditions for the responsible and ethical development of these technologies.

Topic 2. Anthropological and philosophical foundations:

This topic will examine the nature of human intelligence and the place of artificial intelligence in relation to it. In the light of Magnifica Humanitas, it will reflect on consciousness, freedom, truth, practical rationality, and moral responsibility, deepening the differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. It will also address human dignity and the risk of reducing the human being to a set of data or computational processes.

Topic 3. Artificial intelligence, medicine, and clinical bioethics:

This topic will analyze the impact of artificial intelligence on medicine and biomedical research. It will study its applications in diagnosis, genetics, oncology, mental health, telemedicine, and end-of-life care, together with the bioethical challenges they raise. Special attention will be given to professional responsibility, the doctor-patient relationship, informed consent, the protection of personal data, and AI-assisted clinical decision-making, always respecting the dignity of each patient.

Topic 4. Emerging technologies and the human future:

This topic will explore the convergence between artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies such as neurotechnologies, biotechnology, advanced robotics, and quantum computing, and their influence on the future of humanity. It will address issues such as neuro-rights, biometric surveillance, digital identity, and autonomous systems, as well as the ethical challenges arising from genetic editing and eugenic selection. From the perspective of Magnifica Humanitas, it will reflect on how to guide these technologies in the service of the person, justice, and the common good.
