Abstract
After recalling the scientific foundations on which are based Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (AIS), I will discuss some of their intrinsic limitations. I will then identify a few important ethical and societal  issues raised by AIS, such as the impact on work, bias, responsibility of autonomous decisions, or issues in affective human-robot interaction. The principles of the IEEE Global initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems will be then overviewed as well as the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence issued by the High-Level Expert Group on AI (AI HLEG) appointed by the European Commission.

Venue: North Tower, Amphitheater EA5.

Attendance is free.
