Roberto Simanowski presents his latest book, „Language Machines: A Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence“ in a conversation with CAIS-philosopher Jana Baum.
Simanowski is one of the leading voices at the intersection of digitalization, culture, and society. As a professor of media studies and has previously addressed various issues in digital culture, social media, and the societal impacts of algorithmic systems. In his new book, he explores the fundamental questions raised by artificial intelligence regarding language, thought, and human interaction.
In conversation with Jana Baum, Simanowski will discuss key themes from his book and invite the audience to reflect together on the role of AI in our contemporary world. The topics range from epistemological questions – what does AI know? What do we learn through AI? – to moral questions – what values should AI promote? – and on to political and historical questions – what power dynamics are at play in the digital age?
