Keynote speakers:
Charles Ess is Professor Emeritus, Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo, Norway. He works across the intersections of philosophy, computing, applied ethics, comparative philosophy and religious studies, and media studies, with emphases on research ethics, Digital Religion, virtue ethics, social robots and AI.
Ess has published extensively on ethical pluralism, culturally-variable ethical norms and communicative preferences in cross-cultural approaches to Information and Computing Ethics, and their applications to everyday digital media technologies; his Digital Media Ethics, 3rd edition, was published in early 2020.
His current work focuses on the meta-theoretical and meta-disciplinary complementarities between ethics and the social sciences, and their implications for applied ethics in ICT design and implementation, including social robots and AI. He serves as an ethics advisor to numerous research projects, including social robotics and AI , e.g., “BioMe: Existential challenges and ethical imperatives of biometric AI in everyday lifeworlds” Project (https://wasp-hs.org/projects/biome-existential-challenges-and-ethical-imperatives-of-biometric-ai-in-everyday-lifeworlds/)
Leena Romppainen has acted as the president of Electronic Frontier Finland (Effi) since 2018, and a board member since 2007 and a volunteer before that. She works as IT manager in a company providing managed open source cloud services.
Long-time political and human rights activist, Leena is also known for her work and participation in other political and humanitarian issues, events and organizations. She is an active member in the working group of information policy actors from all parliamentary parties. Additionally, she is also a deputy member of the Vantaa Urban Planning Board of City Planning.
Electronic Frontier Finland was founded in 2001 and celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2021. As the name shows, creation of the association was inspired by EFF, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Effi covers everything and anything within the scope of digital rights. This has become a rapidly expanding scope as everything in the world goes digital. Effi has become a trusted go-to organisation for comments on legislation drafts in the parliament and for journalists wanting the civil society view on all kinds of digital topics.
