Ethics Week explores AI, industry trends, leadership, inclusion and more

The Ethics Week at Michigan State University (MSU) was held from February 16–20 and focused on ethical considerations and decision-making.
Over 30 events with nearly 1,200 participants both in-person and online explored various topics such as artificial intelligence, leadership, law, economics, inclusion, and information systems.
Key guests included Kay Firth-Butterfield, an expert in AI governance, and Wes Fondren, who focused on using AI responsibly in research and creative activities.
The week featured panel discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions, coordinated by multiple departments and colleges on campus.
Participants, such as Ray Gasser, attended sessions to reflect on ethical principles and the principles that should guide their decisions and leadership within higher education.
The event aimed to ignite dialogue, critical thinking, and collaboration across different fields.
The week started with a talk on AI usage in research and creative activities, featured expert talks in the middle and a case competition at the end, and concluded with a leadership panel discussing the importance of integrating ethics into daily university life and practices.
