SUMMARY:REINS Workshop Responsible Intelligent Sys
 tems in Perspective; where Computer Science, Philo
 sophy and Legal Theory meet, Utrecht, The Netherla
 nds

LOCATION:Utrecht, The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Our tendency to delegate responsibilit
 ies to machines (self-driving cars, algorithmic tr
 ading, military drones, autonomous surveillance sy
 stems, etc.) leads to pressing questions that call
  for answers from an interdisciplinary perspective
 . Computer scientists can contribute by studying h
 ow to design responsible AI, but they first need t
 o know exactly what is meant by that. Philosophers
  may be able to tell them what responsibility is, 
 but may find it hard to operationalise their insig
 hts in such fundamental topics as action, freedom,
  ethics, norms, and reasons. And that is where leg
 al theorists may be of help, as they are used to t
 hink about the relation between abstract notions l
 ike fairness, justice, duty, excuse, complicity, c
 ausality and their concrete reflections in the rul
 es of law.   On April 18-19 2016, we organise an i
 nterdisciplinary workshop where we bring together 
 researchers from Philosophy, Computer Science and 
 Legal Theory to exchange views on the subject of r
 esponsible intelligent systems.   Attendance is fr
 ee and open to all academics. To enable us to esti
 mate how much coffee and sandwiches we have to ord
 er, we would be happy if you let us know if you pl
 an to come by sending an email to H.W.A.Duijf at u
 u.nl with the subject 'Attendance REINS workshop'.
  Please mention your name and affiliation so that 
 we can make a name tag for you to wear at the work
 shop.   For more information, see https://www.proj
