Interdisciplinary working group "AI and Philosophy"

The interdisciplinary working group "AI and Philosophy" emerged from the InterKI project and is dedicated to the various philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence.

Philosophical prior knowledge or even a relevant academic education is not a prerequisite! Rather, the aim of the working group is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue on philosophical issues of AI. All you need to bring is an interest in philosophical discussion and a willingness to attend our meetings regularly. Everyone is welcome, from undergraduates to emeritus professors!

We meet every two weeks via Zoom during the lecture periods. The topic and reading list for the term are agreed in advance.

We currently have places available for new members. If you are interested, please contact the  organisers, Dr Martin Korth (dgd@uni-muenster.de) and Dr Katrin Schmietendorf (katrin.schmietendorf@uni-muenster.de).

Important for students: We are a voluntary working group, which unfortunately means that no credit points can be awarded.
