The Human and the Machine: Anthropological Questions
About this Presentation
Especially with the recent successes of generative AI, the feeling of looking in the mirror when we interact with AI raises a few questions regarding what it means. First, how does this AI work? Second, what does it accomplish — what is its intelligence in relation to ours? And third, what might we become through our interactions with it? By this investigation, we might advance a case for how to live humanly in the age of AI.
