Skills for the green and digital transition Thursday, 19 September 2024 : 09:30 – 10:45 Green and digital transitions are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. While digital technologies facilitate the monitoring and management of environmental resources and processes, sustainability principles can guide the development and deployment of digital solutions in a responsible manner. Potential job losses due to digitalisation may be partially compensated by the green transition. Both transitions also create new jobs and require new skills for the successful and just transition for all. This session will address the following questions: What are essential effects from the green and digital transitions on jobs and skills? What skills (digital and beyond) are required to minimize and mitigate the impact of climate change, including from the digital transition itself? What are policy measures and good practice examples of skills development for just green and digital transitions?

This poses challenges to employers, workers, educators, policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders in the digital transformation ecosystem. This session will bring together different stakeholders, to address the following questions: Which economic sectors will be most impacted by AI technologies?

In this closing chapter of our journey through the ethics of artificial intelligence, Prof. Shannon
Vallor explores the fundamental philosophical and practical question humanity must answer if
we are to live harmoniously with smart machines: Is it possible to build a machine that has
virtue? What is virtue? What does it mean to flourish and flourish with us? What is virtue as
moral intelligence and must machines be virtuous to be trustworthy? How do we become
virtuous? What are the core virtues? Do we need machines themselves to embody virtues like
justice, compassion and honesty, and have the practical wisdom to practice these virtues? Do
artificial moral agents need to be tied to our own moral judgment and preferences? Prof. Vallor
explains value alignment and its role in developing trust. She concludes by exploring an array of
key ethical and design questions remaining for us to answer if we and machines are to act and
live well together in a flourishing society.

Shannon Vallor is a philosopher of technology. She is the Baillie Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence at the Edinburgh Futures Institute.

"All Things Have Standing" is a course in human psychology and the ethics of artificial intelligence and environmental law inspired by a powerful idea from the audio drama "Spark Hunter"—that all things have ethical standing. "All Things Have Standing" is presented by Carnegie Council in collaboration with Fighter Steel Education. Inspired by a futuristic story of a highly advanced A.I. experiencing existential crisis, All Things Have Standing explores, with leading scholars, A.I. and environmental ethics, the psychology and philosophy which underlie them, and the extraordinary challenges they raise for the global community.
