AI Epistemics explores the epistemological challenges raised by the increasingly pervasive integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into knowledge acquisition and decision-making. It focuses on issues such as the reliability and trustworthiness of generative AI, the nature of artificial testimony, the justification of AI-assisted decisions, and the distribution of epistemic responsibility between humans and intelligent systems whose operation is often opaque. The conference’s overarching aim is to foster dialogue between contemporary epistemology, philosophy of technology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science, and to establish a much-needed international network of experts specialising in the analysis of the epistemic risks and opportunities posed by AI.Attendance to the event is free for all, but seats are limited.
