Hi everyone,

just to clarify, the new information is about the Texas A&M posting, but I would appreciate it if you could share the information both about our event and the job opportunity with your networks.

Anyhow, Texas A&M University is conducting a search for an Associate Vice President for Artificial Intelligence (AVP-AI). I thought you might be (or know someone who would be) interested in the job.

Best wishes,

Veljko

"Ethics and Agentic AI" Symposium at NC State

May 26, 2026 @ Talley Student Union
      
Call for Abstracts:

“Ethics and Agentic AI” invites abstracts that address the normative, conceptual, and practical dimensions of agentic AI’s growing prevalence and rapid deployment across socio-economic sectors. Given its increasing socio-technical impact on safety and society, we welcome work that analyzes the attendant ethical implications from industry and education to law and governance. We especially encourage submissions that use interdisciplinary research methods to analyze and clarify the ethical dimension of agentic AI. The aim of this symposium is to better clarify what should remain distinctly human, what may be reasonably delegated, and what new norms, practices, and infrastructures may be required to this end.

Submission Details:
Deadline: April 26, 2026
