About the Talk:
Why do AI agents pose such difficult problems for our understanding of what it means to be human? And what does it mean for human dignity to endure in the age of AI?
As artificial intelligences reorder not only computing but cognitive automation itself, philosopher Meghan Sullivan helps us navigate these new horizons. Drawing insights from the early days of the Industrial Revolution, Prof. Sullivan will illuminate the dignity of human thought, shed light on the notion of AI "souls", and explore the possibility of endowing machines with moral virtue.
