Philosophisches Café – Christian Uhle

In the organizer's words:

Why AI - and why not?

The advances in so-called "artificial intelligence" promise to fundamentally change our society and living environment. For some, AI enables a revolution in freedom; for others, it threatens further disenfranchisement. What characterizes machine intelligence? What rules and principles, even values, does it follow? And are the latest advances in this area really as groundbreaking as they seem?

The philosopher Christian Uhle is particularly concerned with the concrete opportunities and dangers of AI in the real world. In his latest book "Artificial Intelligence and Real Life" (S. Fischer), he asks whether and how the promises of AI are connected to the fundamental human longing for meaning in life and an understanding of the world: Is a new horizon of possible experience, design and fulfillment currently emerging? Does AI even promise an exit from the hamster wheels of everyday life? How can we make these technologies our own without being controlled by them? An evening about the possible meaning of AI for our lives. And also about the possible nonsense.
