Humanity in the Age of Intelligent Machines

The development of AI seems likely to be one of the defining themes of our century, and the project of ensuring that we make best use of its opportunities is one that we all face together. Thanks to a £10 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust, in 2016 the University of Cambridge established an interdisciplinary research centre, the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI), to explore the opportunities and challenges of this potentially epoch-making technology, both short and long term. The Centre is a collaboration with partners at the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and the University of California, Berkeley. The goal of Leverhulme CFI is to lead the growth of a new interdisciplinary research community to address the opportunities and challenges of machine intelligence.

Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence

In this afternoon of talks, guest speakers and engaged researchers from TUM Munich and Cambridge speak on humans and intelligent machines

Eastwood Room, Postdoc Centre

The technological age has radically transformed the environment we live in and seems to be doing so at an ever accelerating pace. In the face of emerging technologies it becomes increasingly urgent to tackle crucial questions regarding the relationship of humans with intelligent machines. How does our understanding of communication, consciousness and identity change when facing the challenges of Artificial Intelligence? What can we learn about old philosophical issues in the wake of current developments? We strive to tackle these questions in a series of talks on the 20th of May 2022.Speakers:Sean McFaddenProf. John Vervaeke (University of Toronto)Prof. Hans-Georg Moeller (University of Macau) &amp; Prof. Paul D&#x27;Ambrosio (East China Normal University)Dr. Elizabeth O&#x27;Neill (Eindhoven University of Technology)Dr. Johannes Niederhauser Dvija MehtaKarl ReimerFranziska Poszler
