As the development of increasingly capable Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues at a striking speed, questions around the social and ethical impact of AI technology – and how it ought to be shaped politically – are more pressing than ever. For instance, as government agencies and public institutions turn to automated or AI-assisted bureaucratic decision-making, AI begins to wield public authority. As complex generative AI systems begin creating text and images in an instant, writers and artists raise concerns about who can legitimately reap the rewards of applications that have been trained on data produced and processed by humans. Similarly, as AI is used to produce and spread misinformation, falsehoods, or micro-targeted, tailored ads, it is urgent to consider what kinds of (global) institutions can mitigate the expected impact this will have on the political process and generalized trust.… read more. “Call: “Governing Artificial Intelligence” Mancept Workshops 2023 panel”

Conference: The Problems of Philosophy in Virtual Reality
May 22 & 23, 2023, from 9:30am to 5:00pm.
The Institute for Futures Studies, Stockholm, Sweden and online

This event is open to the public.
Conference poster.

This conference will depart from and engage with the recent and critically acclaimed book Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy by Professor David Chalmers.

Chalmers’ book Reality+ takes as its starting point the recent advances in AI and computer hardware which have made high-quality virtual reality sets available to a wider audience. Chalmers notes that the quality and realism of such systems are likely to improve over time to the point where there may eventually be simulated worlds that are wholly indistinguishable from non-virtual worlds from the subjective point of view of the inhabitants of those worlds.… read more. “Call: The Problems of Philosophy in Virtual Reality hybrid conference”
