This workshop focuses on the interplay between epistemological and ethical questions arising with the use of AI systems. So far, central epistemologically and ethically relevant aspects pertaining to these technologies have been largely analyzed in their singularity. For example, epistemic limitations of these systems, such as their opacity, have been the center of the epistemological debate but have only been marginally addressed in ethical studies. On the other hand, issues of responsibility, fairness, and privacy, among others, have received considerable attention in discussions on the ethics of AI. However, even though some efforts are present in the literature to bring these two dimensions together (Russo et al., 2023; Pozzi and Durán, 2024), more needs to be said to tackle relevant and philosophically interesting issues that fall in their intersection.

Against this background, this workshop aims to bring together scholars working on topics at the intersection between the ethics and epistemology of AI, focusing on different philosophical traditions and perspectives.

We invite submissions from relevant academic fields, including the philosophy of science, (social and/or feminist) epistemology, philosophy of technology, moral philosophy, political philosophy, and critical theory. Possible questions/topics include but are not limited to:

• What are the epistemological and ethical requirements for trust and trustworthiness in AI?
• How should we understand the relationship between epistemological and ethical elements in AI? Are epistemological aspects prior to ethical ones (or vice versa)?
• Which epistemic and non-epistemic values are central to the use of AI systems in high-stakes domains (e.g., healthcare, forensics, judicial settings)?
• How do issues of credibility arise in the context of AI-supported decision-making in high-stake domains?
• How can forms of epistemic (in)justice in AI be conceptualized and/or mitigated?
• How can epistemic and moral disagreement in AI be conceptualized?
• How do considerations pertaining to the ethics and epistemology of belief relate to the ethics and epistemology of AI?
• How do epistemic norms and ethical values influence the nature and conceptualization of AI-driven expertise?

Abstract Submission

Submissions should be extended abstracts to be sent via Easychair. We request that abstracts range between 750 and 1000 words. Each abstract will receive at least two reviews. While the workshop will be streamed to allow broader online participation, authors of accepted submissions are expected to present their work and attend the event in person in Delft.

Abstract submission deadline: 31 May 2025
Notification of acceptance/rejection decisions: 30 June 2025
Workshop dates: 24-26 September 2025
