« Ethics of Large Language Models: can AI learn virtue from humans, and vice versa? » is a Research workshop which will be held at the Learning Planet Institute (LPI) Learning Center on the 16th and 17th of January 2024.
The workshop will be co-chaired by the LPI Director Francois Taddei and Martin Gibert, researcher on ethics of AI at the University of Montréal.

Short description of the workshop:
Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence systems that serve as the foundation for various conversational agents like ChatGPT. They generate responses that can be morally evaluated.
This two-day exploratory workshop aims to collectively test the « moral psychology » of these large language models that come across as black boxes. Do the responses exhibit specific moral biases? Are there « styles » that differentiate LLMs from human beings? What obstacles hinder the moral evaluation of LLMs?
The workshop will begin with a presentation outlining the current state of research on the subject. It will then involve various exercises: prompt creation, response evaluation, comparisons, and « flaw » identification. Participants will be actively involved in hands-on activities, contributing to imaginative solutions for a better understanding of the ethics of LLMs.
