Session 27 - Causerie on Hopes, Fears, Trust, Understanding, Regulation
Published: at 19:00 CETFrom creative studios to classrooms and boardrooms, generative AI is reshaping the way we work, learn, and imagine. This first Causerie of AI-Phi 3.0 invites an open discussion on the hopes and anxieties surrounding this technology: from the promise of universal creativity and efficiency to the spectre of runaway intelligence. Together with Edmund Ronald, we’ll reflect on how trust, safety, and understanding evolve as AI spreads through everyday life.
Session 26 - Steps to an Ethology of Insurrectionary Machines
Published: at 14:00 CESTDominique Lestel explores humanoid robots like Sophia as “Insurrectionary Machines” — artifacts that unsettle rather than serve, existing in friction with humans. From ancient idols to AI systems, these machines invite us to rethink life itself through an ethological lens.
Session 25- Kathinka Evers (Uppsala University) - Artificial Consciousness: Science Fiction, Utopia, or Pandora’s Box?
Published: at 13:00 CESTKathinka Evers explores why the question of artificial sentience (or “awareness”, or “consciousness”) is raised in science receiving considerable public funding despite the lack of empirical evidence? What this might mean and what the implications of it are.
Session 24 - Ryota Kanai (Araya Inc.) - Qualia and Symmetry: A Mathematical Framework For Understanding the Qualitative Nature of Consciousness
Published: at 21:00 CESTAre qualitative differences in conscious experience, like vision versus audition, shaped by the intrinsic structure of neural networks? This talk proposes a mathematical framework using symmetry groups and equivariance to characterize these differences. This approach offers a new path for linking consciousness to neural architecture.
