Room MA 141
This seminar will lead through
the topic of epistemology and ethics of AI bridging between computer and
data science, social sciences, and philosophy. We will discuss such
questions as:
What exactly is AI, which are the contemporary
approaches, and what will follow? What can Theory of Mind and Agency
contribute to AI research and development? How is a moral or normative
AI conceivable and therefore programmable? There are various moral
systems and normative theories that contradict each other. Which of them
should we implement in AI, i.e. which values and norms should we teach
it? How can we implement something very vague and not agreed upon in AI
in the first place? A possible hypothesis: We can achieve a better
understanding of human morality itself by precisely figuring out how to
morally program AI.
