  1. 40. AI, publishing and the education for the future knowledge worker labour market
    Prof. Christoph Bläsi (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)
    05/06/2026, 11:00
    Technology, Ethics & Human Impact: From Innovation to Consequence
    Oral presentation

    Inspired by an extensive AI writing experiment in a seminar, I will try to build the bridge from the publishing value chain and the fascinating abilities of AI systems to support or take over publishing tasks like copy-editing or even gatekeeping to desirable future working set-ups in the book business; obviously, such set-ups will not least tie up on the limitations of AI systems. Finally, I...

  2. 18. How can spectral comparison support scientific decisions?
    Prof. Roberto Sáez-Hernández (University of Valencia)
    05/06/2026, 11:20
    Technology, Ethics & Human Impact: From Innovation to Consequence
    Oral presentation

    Spectral comparison is central to many analytical decisions, including material identification, library searching, batch comparability, forensic screening, process monitoring and waste sorting. However, the apparently simple question of whether two spectra are similar can be answered in mathematically different ways. This presentation introduces the fundamentals of chemometric spectral...

  4. 9. Governing the "Black Box": Liability, Ethics, and Human Rights in Algorithmic Medicine
    Sharon Alison Ferro (Università degli studi di Palermo)
    05/06/2026, 11:50
    Technology, Ethics & Human Impact: From Innovation to Consequence
    Oral presentation

    The advent of AI in healthcare is rewriting the coordinates of the therapeutic relationship, challenging the dogmas of civil and constitutional law.
    The current European regulatory framework — even in light of the new AI Act — proves structurally inadequate. Traditional civil liability models fail to properly allocate the risks of "algorithmic errors" and reject the fiction of "electronic...

  6. 33. Digital Ethics and Human-AI Interaction in Learning Systems: Emotionally Adaptive Dialogue Frameworks
    Halyna Mykhailenko (Founder “Code of Dialogue” Interdisciplinary Research Initiative | Independent Scholar and Stakeholder, Kharkiv Ukraine)
    05/06/2026, 12:20
    Technology, Ethics & Human Impact: From Innovation to Consequence
    Oral presentation

    This presentation explores emotionally adaptive dialogue frameworks for Human–AI interaction in educational environments. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, learning systems are beginning to influence cognition, interpretation, communication and meaning-making processes. The research develops an interdisciplinary, human-centered framework that combines cognitive...

  7. 8. Civil Responsibility in Case of Damages Produced by Robots
    Prof. Elisa Colletti (University of Palermo)
    05/06/2026, 12:35
    Technology, Ethics & Human Impact: From Innovation to Consequence
    Oral presentation

    Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in healthcare for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, improving precision and efficiency in patient care. However, the growing autonomy of AI systems raises important legal issues concerning civil liability for damages caused by medical robots and intelligent technologies.

    This study analyses the challenges posed by AI opacity and autonomy,...
