"AI and Society: Ethics, Creativity and Power in the Digital Age"
International Conference
30-31 January 2027 – London / Online
organised by
London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a speculative horizon — it is an active force reshaping how we work, create, govern, communicate and understand what it means to be human. From generative AI and automated decision-making to algorithmic governance and digital surveillance, AI technologies are transforming social structures, cultural production and everyday life at an unprecedented pace.
This interdisciplinary conference invites scholars, researchers and practitioners to critically engage with the relationships between AI, ethics, creativity and power. We are particularly interested in contributions that interrogate not only the promises of AI, but also its risks, inequalities and unintended consequences.
What does it mean to live in a world increasingly mediated by intelligent systems? How are concepts such as authorship, agency, responsibility and knowledge being redefined? Who benefits from AI and who is excluded? And how might critical, creative and ethical approaches help shape more just and inclusive technological futures?
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Ethical frameworks, responsibility and accountability in AI
AI, power and global inequalities
AI and the transformation of labour, value and everyday life
Cultural narratives, imaginaries and representations of AI
Creativity, authorship and artistic practice in the age of AI
AI and the future of knowledge, education and academic work
Truth, misinformation and epistemic authority in digital societies
Identity, embodiment and subjectivity in human–AI interaction
AI, disability and inclusive or exclusionary technologies
AI in healthcare and medicine: ethics, care, and the transformation of clinical practice
Gender, race and intersectionality in AI systems and discourse
Memory, archives and digital heritage in algorithmic cultures
AI, architecture and design: shaping spaces, environments and human experience
AI in language learning and assessment
Resistance, critique, and alternative technological futures
