SRI Seminar Series

The SRI Seminar Series brings together the Schwartz Reisman community and beyond for a robust exchange of ideas that advance scholarship at the intersection of technology and society.

Our weekly SRI Seminar Series welcomes Moshe Vardi, the Karen Ostrum George Distinguished Service Professor of Computational Engineering at Rice University, where he leads the Technology, Culture, and Society Initiative. Vardi’s interests focus on applications of logic to computer science, including database and finite model theory, knowledge in multi-agent systems, computer-aided verification and reasoning, and teaching logic across the curriculum. Vardi has authored or co-authored over 600 technical papers, as well as the books Reasoning About Knowledge (2003) and Finite Model Theory and Its Applications (2007). He is a senior editor of Communications of the ACM, after serving as its editor-in-chief for a decade.In this talk, Vardi will discuss what considerations and principles computer scientists can use to develop an ethical framework for their practices.<a href="https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/events-archive/seminar-2022-moshe-vardi" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn more about this talk.</a>
