An annual academic conference hosted by the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society, Absolutely Interdisciplinary convenes leading thinkers from a rich variety of fields to engage in conversations that encourage innovation and inspire new insights.Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are evolving at an extraordinary pace, holding the potential to transform societies, economies, and systems in profound ways. Yet, as the possibilities expand, so do the challenges—and many of these cannot be solved by technical innovation alone. The fifth annual <a href="https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/" title="https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Absolutely Interdisciplinary</a> conference will unite researchers, students, and professionals across disciplines to explore ideas, spark new insights, and shape research agendas.Conference participants will contribute to and learn about emerging research areas and new questions to explore. Each session pairs researchers from different disciplines to address a common question and facilitate a group discussion. By identifying people working on similar questions from different perspectives, we will foster conversations that develop the interdisciplinary approaches and research questions needed to understand how AI can be made to align with human values. All sessions will take place exclusively in person.ScheduleMay 29, 2025 | 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM ETThe session schedule will be available<a href="https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/" title="https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> on the conference website</a> in Spring 2025.Venue: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps?sca_esv=cf26ac7335e7e159&amp;rlz=1C1GCEA_enCA1125CA1125&amp;output=search&amp;q=schwartz+reisman+innovation+campus&amp;source=lnms&amp;fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J3ppPdoHI1O-XvbXbpNjYYxy9nF8_reHIdIO9ZF-Un9cArTzwv0bd95zkEJt7f3xiwyr2umkBe8tT6AWr1qaCsv8h1KuZF69GD3wFB3C90_Vltik0Hjia9dEswFbvnbURzEzAGDdpkAlTxnmI3HeQqGXCLv0nT8JKgwxmHnYrNTC_r0l2Q&amp;entry=mc&amp;ved=1t:200715&amp;ictx=111" title="https://www.google.com/maps?sca_esv=cf26ac7335e7e159&amp;rlz=1C1GCEA_enCA1125CA1125&amp;output=search&amp;q=schwartz+reisman+innovation+campus&amp;source=lnms&amp;fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J3ppPdoHI1O-XvbXbpNjYYxy9nF8_reHIdIO9ZF-Un9cArTzwv0bd95zkEJt7f3xiwyr2umkBe8tT6AWr1qaCsv8h1KuZF69GD3wFB3C90_Vltik0Hjia9dEswFbvnbURzEzAGDdpkAlTxnmI3HeQqGXCLv0nT8JKgwxmHnYrNTC_r0l2Q&amp;entry=mc&amp;ved=1t:200715&amp;ictx=111" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus</a>, Multipurpose Room (W280), Second FloorEntrance: 108 College.

About the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and SocietyThe Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society is a research institute at the University of Toronto that explores the ethical and societal implications of technology. Our mission is to deepen knowledge of technologies, societies, and humanity by integrating research across traditional boundaries to build human-centred solutions.Our research community seeks to rethink technology’s role in society, the needs of human communities, and the systems that govern them. We are investigating how best to align technology with human values and deploy it accordingly.Across all our activities, SRI convenes world-class expertise and diverse perspectives from universities, government, industry, and beyond to develop new modes of thinking about powerful technologies and their role in what it means to be human in the 21st century. We are defining what’s possible, determining what’s at stake, and devising implementable solutions to make sure technologies like AI are effective, safe, fair, and beneficial—for everyone.To learn more, <a href="https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/" title="https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">visit our website</a>.
