What is the danger of deepfakes? ⚠️

Around 95% of all deepfakes are currently non-consensual porn videos.

What important ethical considerations should we take into account when drafting legislation around AI generated pornographic content?

Let’s discuss it during this interdisciplinary panel discussion!

Our experts will address the danger of deepfakes from four different perspectives:
▪️ Technology & Law - Associate professor Bart van der Sloot
▪️ Artificial Intelligence - Teacher Lisa Rombout
▪️ Philosophy - Assistant professor Roos Slegers
▪️ Human Rights & Law - Assistant professor Marco Bassini

The panel discussion will be moderated by Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence student Alexandra Hooser.

👉 Note that this event counts towards the SG-Certificate!

Is law regulating human cloning? How is it evolving on this matter? 🧬

Reproduction of human cells and tissue, commonly referred to as “human cloning”, had been the subject of speculation for much of the 20th century. As it may be suspected, this topic gave rise to some serious ethical concerns and posed multiple questions regarding the legality of such activity.

If you want to learn more about this subject and the laws currently governing it, join us for a Discussion Night! 💬

We will provide you with all the necessary knowledge and then you’ll have the chance to participate in the discussion, training your skills in public speaking or debating.

Are you looking to expand your professional network in the new year? The Networking Evening hosted by the Professional Development Committee is just the place for you!

The event is structured as speed-networking, which means you will be meeting each guest speaker in a small group of about 5 students! That way you get to ask all your questions in a more informal, less high-pressure environment.

Our guests are very special, because they are alumni of either ELSA or of Tilburg Law School. Since they all come from a similar academic background, you will have a good idea of where your legal education can take you. Additionally, you can expand your ELSA network at the same time!

Of course, there will also be a chance to enjoy some tea, coffee and biscuits with our guests for the final part of this chill but future building networking event!

🗓️UPDATED DATE: Thursday, 9th of March at 17:00!
