Artificial Minds: Navigating Ethics in the Age of AI

How can we ensure that artificial intelligence and technology advance ethically and responsibly in a rapidly evolving world?

Then we’ll spend some time in John Searle’s ‘Chinese Room’ (thought experiment), challenging notions of artificial intelligence and consciousness. Let’s engage in lively discussions on ethics, existence, and the implications of AI in the modern world.
