E-seminar : Artificial intelligence and its challenges

Description : 

Artificial intelligence, once a distant dream, is now an integral part of our daily lives, influencing everything from the way we communicate to the way we understand the world around us. Its rapid development raises questions that go beyond the realms of science and engineering. They touch on the very essence of the human being, the nature of intelligence and the ethical dimensions of creating entities capable of thinking and learning.

We will explore several key philosophical challenges posed by AI. We will address these challenges by drawing on philosophy, computer science, ethics and other disciplines. Our aim is not only to understand the technological advances of AI, but also to critically examine their wider implications for our society and values.
