EVENT (Feb. 27, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.) | Machine Learning: What Does It Change and Why Does It Matter?

Tuesday, February 27, 2024 | Farrell Hall A27/28

AI is poised to invade aspects of society formerly believed to be the unique domain of the human: from driving cars to writing sonnets.

• What is the value of artificially-generated art?
• What legal responsibility do AI-based decision makers have?
• What is the relationship between consciousness and meaningful action?
• What does it mean to be human?

Please join us for an interdisciplinary exploration of the impressive capabilities and limitations of AI engines and discussions of their philosophical implications and practical consequences in legal, social, educational, and artistic domains.
