Don’t immortal comedians have the right to die? Is humour inherently undignified? How can we better protect our cognitive autonomy and data privacy as our lives and laughs are increasingly algorithmized? The participants in an interdisciplinary working group will invite conversation on these and other questions about the relationships between AI, humour, and human rights.
How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
