The "AI & Humanities" reading group brings together scholars from Media Studies, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy to investigate recent scholarship in artificial intelligence, robotics, and artificial life from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Our discussions explore machine consciousness and cognition, AI personalities and unexpected behaviors, evolutionary dynamics in biological and synthetic systems, ethics and value alignment, human-AI relations and social implications, and posthuman or alien forms of intelligence.
This long reading group is comprised of faculty in IMA, the Humanities, Social Science and Science. We read widely in the areas of Philosophy of Mind, Cognitive Science, and Neuroscience.
