2023 Workshops
A Workshop on Vulnerability and Digital Intimacy
Has human interaction with social robots and other forms of artificial intelligence evolved to the point where such interaction could constitute an “intimate relationship?” If so, how should these interactions be regarded and regulated? On the other hand, how might this type of interaction ultimately affect the form, nature, and need for intimacy between humans? This workshop will explore how vulnerability theory can be applied to these and other questions arising from digital intimacy, considering how state and social responsibility for the technological future should be defined and incorporated into an ethical framework for the development and use of AI. Hosted by The Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative, Emory University School of Law, Atlanta, March 24, 2023.

Human rights and human vulnerability theory are both concerned with the achievement of social justice and the role of the State in this endeavor. Their approaches to the State, however, are markedly different. We are pleased to announce a workshop on human rights and human vulnerability, bringing in dialogue the work of Professor Michael Perry on human rights and Professor Martha Albertson Fineman on human vulnerability. (Hosted by The Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative, Emory University School of Law, Atlanta, March 31-April 1, 2023).
