On Monday, 3 February, at 4:15 PM, a lecture on medical artificial intelligence will take place in the University of Tartu Delta Study Building (Narva mnt 18-2048). The speakers are Dr Frank Ursin and Dr Cristian Timmermann from Germany. The lecture, titled “Levels of Explicability: How to Overcome Epistemological and Normative Barriers in Medical AI”, is organised by the Centre for Ethics of the University of Tartu, Department of Philosophy, and the Estonian Centre of Excellence in AI (EXAI).

The current collection is the result of the merger between the Centre’s library and the library of the departments of philosophy and semiotics.

On October 18, Prof. James E. Mahon will give a presentation “Kant and the Three Duties Not to Lie“ at the Department of Philosophy’s Intellectual History seminar.

Our goal in teaching has been to coordinate the teaching of ethics across the curriculum and in different faculties of the University of Tartu. At present, various university lectures are offered in bioethics, environmental ethics, medical ethics, media ethics, ethics of science, and business ethics. Research integrity counsellors of the University of Tartu also contribute a great deal to cooperation with various faculties.

The Institute of Philosophy and Semiotics invites students from all University of Tartu masters’ programmes to participate in the online course E-Health Opportunities & Challenges: IOT, AI and Ethics.
