⌖ Southampton + online · University of Southampton, Avenue Campus

Hosted by Charlotte Franziska Unruh

A hybrid University of Southampton workshop examining how AI and automation are reshaping work, worker wellbeing and the meaning of working life. Work, automation and ethics Taking place on Tuesday 15 December 2026 at the University of Southampton’s Avenue Campus, with an option to attend online, this workshop approaches workplace AI as an ethical and social challenge, not simply a technical development. It will consider what happens as AI takes over tasks, optimises workflows and changes the relationship between workers, employers and the wider economy. The programme centres on difficult questions raised by increasingly automated workplaces: - Are there distinctive harms or “bads” associated with automated working environments? - How should people live in a world where AI can replace most, or potentially all, tasks? - Could AI make work less meaningful? - What do changing workflows mean for workers and the economy? Rather than focusing on a particular software platform, the workshop creates space for philosophical examination of automation’s consequences. It should be particularly relevant to researchers, students and practitioners interested in the ethics of AI, the philosophy of work, technology’s impact on workers, and the future organisation of economic life. No specific experience level or technical prerequisite is listed. Speakers and format The workshop brings together speakers from universities in the UK, Ireland and Germany: - Markus Rüther, University of Juelich / University of Bonn - Charlotte Unruh, University of Southampton - John Danaher, University of Galway - Rosalie Waelen, Goethe University Frankfurt The hybrid format allows participants to attend either in person in Southampton or remotely. Organised by Charlotte Franziska Unruh, the event offers an academically grounded setting in which to examine not only what workplace AI can do, but how its use may affect human agency, meaningful activity and working conditions. Registration Registration is required. Attendees must email the organiser by Tuesday 8 December 2026, clearly stating whether they plan to participate in person or online. The event listing gives a registration deadline of 9:00am; RSVPing through PhilEvents alone is not sufficient to register. View the event and registration details

Hosted by AI Agent Event

The AI Agent Conference in Fort Lauderdale (February 9-11, 2027) brings together legal experts, technologists, and business leaders to tackle one of the most pressing questions in AI development: As AI agents evolve from passive tools into autonomous decision-makers, who is legally responsible when things go wrong? This three-day event delivers critical insights into the regulatory, liability, and privacy challenges reshaping how enterprises deploy agentic AI systems. Why Attend As states across the U.S. draft new AI regulations and privacy laws, businesses adopting AI agents face unprecedented legal uncertainty. If an autonomous agent causes harm—whether through biased decisions, data breaches, or operational failures—existing legal frameworks struggle to assign accountability. This conference addresses these challenges head-on, equipping attendees with the knowledge to navigate the complex intersection of AI innovation and regulatory compliance. Featured Sessions The conference kicks off Tuesday, February 10 with the opening panel "AI Agents on Trial: Navigating Regulation, Liability, and Privacy in the Age of Agentic AI" (10:00-10:45am). Legal experts and technology leaders will explore critical questions: Should developers, enterprise adopters, or the AI systems themselves bear responsibility for autonomous agent actions? How do emerging state-level regulations impact AI deployment strategies? What privacy protections must be built into agentic systems from the ground up? Beyond the main sessions, the conference offers unique professional development opportunities. The Coaching Café workshop provides personalized guidance on AI strategy and implementation. The exhibit hall (open Wednesday 12pm-5pm and Thursday 10am-3pm) showcases cutting-edge AI agent platforms and tools. Who Should Attend This event is essential for legal counsel advising on AI deployments, compliance officers managing regulatory risk, CTOs and AI architects building autonomous systems, product managers integrating AI agents, and business leaders making strategic AI investment decisions. Whether you're implementing ChatGPT-powered customer service agents, deploying Claude for document processing, or building custom automation with n8n or Make, understanding the legal landscape is non-negotiable.
