AI as a socratic partner: Designing LLMs (Large Language Models) to prioritize curiosity over certainty
About this Event

In this interactive lecture, we explore how the principles of Socratic learning—questioning, dialogue, and self-examination—can be integrated into the development and application of artificial intelligence. As AI systems grow more sophisticated, their role in education, decision-making, and ethical reasoning demands a framework rooted in critical inquiry. How can machines not only ANSWER questions but also ASK them in ways that deepen human understanding? What ethical responsibilities arise when designing AI to challenge assumptions or provoke reflection?


Drawing parallels between ancient philosophy and modern technology, this session invites educators, developers, and philosophers to rethink AI’s potential as a catalyst for intellectual growth.

Takeaways:


📌Strategies to design AI systems that prioritize understanding over answers.

📌 Frameworks for addressing bias and ethical risks in Socratic AI.

📌 A vision for technology that fosters intellectual humility and collaborative discovery.


Who Should Opt-In

- Educators seeking AI tools to enhance critical thinking in classrooms.

- Developers interested in ethical AI design.

- Philosophers and ethicists exploring the intersection of technology and human values.


Why It Matters

As AI reshapes education, governance, and creativity, reclaiming the Socratic tradition offers a path to ensure machines augment—not replace—human curiosity. This lecture challenges us to build AI that doesn’t just mimic intelligence but nurtures it.


Duration:90 minutes (70-minute lecture + 20-minute Q&A/discussion)
