**Registration full**
We are hosting a two-day in-person workshop at University of Toronto on September 25th and 26th, 2026. We invite submissions of abstracts for contributed talks and self-nominations for commenters.
The theme of the workshop is Philosophy of AI and Science. We welcome papers on any philosophical aspect of artificial intelligence, including but not limited to philosophy of science, epistemology of science, philosophy of mind, metascience. We are interested in work that engages with both foundational questions about the nature of AI applications in science and normative questions about its development, deployment, and regulation.
