Wednesday 7 October 2026, 10am - 5pm
Lecture Room, Uehiro Oxford Institute
Workshop by invitation only, but please get in touch with alberto.giubilini@uehiro.ox.ac.uk if interested.
This is the first workshop of the Uehiro Oxford Institute/TORCH Medical Humanities project: "Death, dying, and afterlife in the age of AI”; The project aims to build a set of plausible future contexts for how end-of-life, and the relationship between the living and deceased, might change in an age shaped by AI technologies. The project uses the Oxford Scenario Planning Approach to elaborate a set of plausible, contrasting, and relevant future scenarios, challenging to current assumptions.
This first workshop is meant to gather a relatively small group of relevant experts and stakeholders to provide inputs on the initial scenarios, under the guidance of scenario planning expert Matthew Finch. It will be followed by another day-long session on 7th December in the Schwarzman Centre, where a wider range of academics and stakeholders will explore the draft scenarios, contribute to their iteration, and learn from both the work already done - and the insights of others in the room.
Organized by Alberto Giubilini (Uehiro Oxford Institute, Oxford), Matthew Finch (Said Business School, Oxford), Cristina Voinea (Uehiro Oxford Institute, Oxford), Charlotte Dewarumez (Toulouse), Halina Suwalowska (Ethox, Oxford)
