Three Paths, One Goal Trialogue: Narrating the philosophical, legal and creative perspectives on emerging technologies

At the AI-Imaginations and Public Safety symposium at Erasmus University Rotterdam on June 19, DigiCon’s Sci-Fi Team experimented with an unconventional way of presenting academic ideas. When it comes to emerging technologies, the responsibility for understanding, explaining, and responding to them often falls to key figures. The most important of these arguably are philosophers, legal scholars, and tech creators. But as we’ve seen in the literature for years, there’s insufficient shared vocabulary, understanding, or common ground between these roles. For this reason, we prepared our own imaginary narrative for a trialogue between these roles on the issues that need to be discussed, in order to build bridges between the interrelated fields more effectively. Here, we share the full text of the trialogue.
