As part of the Desirable AI programme – a collaboration between Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the University of Cambridge – this interdisciplinary conference, will explore the profound implications of large language models (LLMs), affective computing, and emotionally responsive AI. As machines venture into realms once thought uniquely human – emotion, creativity, irrationality – we ask: What does this mean for language, ethics, and the future of human expression?
We welcome theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions from scholars, practitioners, and policymakers across disciplines, including computer science, linguistics, philosophy, ethics, psychology, sociology, political science, and cultural studies. Possible areas of interest include, but are not limited to: transcultural perspectives on AI, feminist and intersectional critiques of technology, affect and aesthetics in the AI Age, Linguistics and Large Language Models, Philosophy of Mind and AI, Sustainable AI (ecological and social dimensions).
