This year The National Archives convenes its first annual Digital Lecture, which welcomes Professor Luciano Floridi, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Information and Director of the Digital Ethics Lab at the University of Oxford. Exploring Semantic Capital: what it is and how to protect it, Professor Floridi will present new research on the capital of ideas, knowledge, insights, understanding, meaning, culture, languages, or in short, all of the mental productions that we both inherit and produce as humans. The lecture will discuss how such a semantic capital can be protected and fostered by the digital, but also put at risk and challenged, and what digital ethics may do to ensure its care, protection, and fostering. Following the lecture, we will be hosting a reception and poster exhibition, with lightning talks to showcase current digital research activities at The National Archives.
