Hi everyone, Please find the link to the spreadsheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13cOq9UKLaHuk4ZTVRnehfzZWAdLRrGezfEK…> that Aarjav, Rifat and I prepared. Please take the time to put down your name, email, the number of people that you would like to bring, any dietary restrictions and suggested activities. To the advisors, please forward this to your students and the research team members that you want to invite. P.S: Since there's a chance of rain on Saturday, we might have to change the venue. Any changes will be announced! Kindly let me, Aarjav, or Rifat know if you have any questions or feedback, ----- Sincerely, Yasaman Rohanifar <https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~yasamanro/>, Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, University of Toronto, Canada

Below, you’ll find an email that you can forward to any of your connections or networks, whether personal or professional, in order to spread the word about our conference. Additionally, I suggest you add a line to your email signature linking to the conference—in all outgoing communications, not just for this one. You can either copy the image in my signature below or copy this text: *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* <http://www.absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com> and add it below your own email signature. Depending on your circles and/or your areas of expertise, you may wish to share this with any professional associations, forums, reading or working groups, listservs, or other organizations or collectives you are involved with, as well as individual contacts who you think may be interested in the conference subject matter. *Please copy me on outgoing emails *(so I can track who’s connected to what organization, and so I know where the message is going). Thanks in advance for your help in spreading the word. Please let me know if anything’s not clear here, or if you have any questions. Thanks, Liv *Olivia DiGiuseppe *| Project Coordinator *Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society* <https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/> University of Toronto *olivia.digiuseppe(a)utoronto.ca* <olivia.digiuseppe(a)utoronto.ca> <http://www.absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/> *__________________________________* *Email to forward is below:* <http://www.absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/> Good afternoon, I hope this finds you well. I am reaching out to confirm that the Schwartz Reisman Institute’s inaugural conference, *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/>, will take place virtually from *November 5-6**th**, 2021*. Below you will find all conference details and links to more information. *About Absolutely Interdisciplinary* Understanding the capacities and limitations of complex new technologies like AI calls for more than just a technical perspective. *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* will convene researchers from across disciplines to build new, interdisciplinary approaches to advance our understanding of how to meet the challenge of ensuring AI and other powerful technologies promote human well-being. This year, *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* takes place virtually, with a one-day graduate workshop on *November 4**th**,* followed by four scheduled sessions across two days on *November* *5**th** and **6* *th**. **Visit the conference website for more information* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/> and *register here.* <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/absolutely-interdisciplinary-tickets-1782593073…> *About this year’s theme* Humans are a fundamentally normative species, with complex cognitive and social systems for shaping behaviour to implement collectively-determined values and norms in support of cooperation. Building AI systems that are robustly aligned with human values requires deep understandings of how these normative systems work. At the same time, advances in AI present unique opportunities to investigate and test what capacities contribute to our ability to build, maintain, and abide by norms. This year, *Absolutely Interdisciplinary* takes up the challenge of exploring these dynamics under the theme *Human and Machine Normativity: New Connections.* *Learn more here.* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/aboutaixai> *Speakers* *Jeff Clune* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Vincent Conitzer* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Deborah Gordon* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Mortiz Hardt* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Joel Z. Leibo* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Sarah Mathew* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Deirdre Mulligan* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, *Johanna Thoma* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>, and *Gillian K. Hadfield* <https://absolutelyinterdisciplinary.com/speakers>. *Registration and information* - *Register for the conference at this link.* <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/absolutely-interdisciplinary-tickets-1782593073…> - Follow SRI on *Twitter* <https://twitter.com/TorontoSRI> and *LinkedIn* <https://www.linkedin.com/company/53504040/> for conference updates. - Share the conference announcement via *this Tweet* <https://twitter.com/TorontoSRI/status/1380192577631174665> *Questions?* Email *hello(a)torontosri.ca* <hello(a)torontosri.ca>
