Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK/8pm CET
“The History of Philosophy and the Future of AI”
Cameron Buckner in conversation with Audrey Borowski

In recent years, deep learning systems like AlphaGo, AlphaFold, DALL-E, and ChatGPT have blown through expected upper limits on artificial neural network research, which attempts to create artificial intelligence in computational systems by replicating aspects of the brain’s structure. These deep learning systems are of unprecedented scale and complexity in the size of their training set and parameters, however, making it very difficult to understand how they perform as well as they do. In this event, Cameron Buckner will outline a framework for thinking about foundational philosophical questions in deep learning, and will link deep learning’s research agenda to a strain of thought in classic empiricist philosophy of mind.
