This case discusses the technology of digital voice assistants in their emerging roles of social companions that are always available, do any our bidding and never contradict the user. The case invites to consider the ethical and social implications of voice assistants from the perspectives of virtue ethics, the technological mediation theory and care ethics. Some of potential considerations include the role of human/digital companionships, the values that underlie human relations and how voice assistants may change the normative expectations we have from ourselves and those around us.

The dual challenge from AI and cognitive science

This lecture offers a theoretical framework for analysing the ways in which insights about human and artificial cognition challenge existing legal (reasoning) practices. It briefly touches on possible pathways to address these challenges as well. The lecture is part of project RECOGNISE. RECOGNISE aims at developing an interdisciplinary training curriculum on legal reasoning and cognitive science, filling a gap in legal higher education. It is a strategic partnership of six European universities for higher education sponsored by the ERASMUS+ Programme. The project will provide the interested learners (legal researchers, law students, legal practitioners, and beyond) with introductory and advanced materials on topics including heuristics and biases in adjudication, cognitive structure of legal concepts, and defeasible reasoning in law. Materials will be provided in the form of an online handbook, video lectures, summer schools, and other online and on-campus activities.
