The inaugural edition of The Lyceum project in 2024 set out an Aristotelian ethical framework for addressing the key challenges and opportunities created by the rapid development of AI technologies, as presented in the white paper by Oxford’s Institute for Ethics in AI Director John Tasioulas and Stanford Professor Josiah Ober’s new white paper: "Lyceum Project: AI Ethics with Aristotle”. 

Central themes of the paper included the following: 

• The ethics of AI must be rooted in a rich conception of human flourishing, one centered on the exercise of distinctive human capabilities. 
• AI systems should be conceived as 'intelligent tools' that enable individual and communal flourishing, not beings with a comparable moral standing to humans. 
• The key political means for ensuring that AI serves the human good is its subjection to strong governance, based on informed and participatory democratic processes, with AI tools also playing an important role in enabling democratic deliberation and decision- making at scale.
