We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to participate in the workshop "AI & Understanding: Between Science, Logic, and Cognition" on the 25th of February at TU Dortmund University, Germany.
This workshop examines the concept of understanding in artificial intelligence from an interdisciplinary perspective, situated at the intersection of computer science, formal logic, and cognitive science. It aims to critically analyze the theoretical foundations and conceptual assumptions underlying contemporary AI systems with respect to understanding and cognition. By bringing together scientific, logical, and cognitive perspectives, the workshop provides a forum for rigorous discussion on the possibilities and limitations of understanding in the context of AI, as well as its broader epistemological implications.
Speakers: Gabriele Kern-Isberner, Donal Khosrowi, Katharina Morik, Nina Poth, Annika Schuster, Carlos Zednik
In person participation is free but space is limited. We adopt a first-come first-serve policy. If you would like to participate online or in person, please register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8VEKoTJjQOskOaldeO8tcpmOcVa_2Sgep41IPt3qel8SfIw/viewform
