Our public lecture series is going to conclude this winter term with a talk by Luciano Floridi from University of Oxford/The Alan Turing Institute on 23. January 2019. In his talk Professor Floridi shall discuss the governance of the digital as the new challenge posed by technological innovation.
He shall introduce a new distinction between soft ethics, which applies after legal compliance with legislation, such as the General Data Protection regulation in the European Union, and hard ethics, which precedes and contributes to shape legislation. He shall conclude by developing an analysis of the role of digital ethics with respect to digital regulation and digital governance.
The lecture is offered in Co-operation with the Public Lecture Series „Reason, Reflection & Responsibility“ of Philosophisches Seminar and will be made available via lecture2go.
When: 23.1.2019, 18:00 - 20:00 Uhr
Where: Lecture hall B, main building at Edmund-Siemers-Allee 1, University of Hamburg
