Berggruen Seminar Series
Berggruen Institute China
The Berggruen Seminar Series provides a platform for Berggruen fellows and friends to share their latest research with the public. Started in March 2019, the series has hosted more than 20 events. Aiming to provide opportunities for speakers and audiences to have in-depth discussions, the events are held in person (when possible) and live-streamed. Topics of the seminars included “Heritable Genome Editing,” “Challenges Posed by Big Data on the Foundations of Scientific Thinking,” “Care Robots and Ethics,” “Confucian Commonsense Meets the AI Revolution,” “AI Ethics: Designing for Responsibility,” and “Imperfect Genes: Human Evolution in New Gene Origination.”
