Artificial Intelligence and New Human-Technology Relations as a Challenge for the Philosophy of Science

May, 23rd 2025, 9:00-16:00 (CET), University of Münster (Senatssaal am Schlossplatz 1)

Researches discuss with us from their disciplinary perspectives and their engagement with current AI applications and models questions of philosophy of science and higher education including topics such as:

How does the use of (generative) AI transform scientific knowledge production and teaching, and what philosophical reflections on foundational concepts, methods, and frameworks are necessitated by these transformations?

What implicit or explicit conceptions of humans and machines underpin the research, development, and application of AI?

How can synthetic outputs such as text, video, image, and audio be situated within the broader context of changes in public and academic reasoning from a philosophy of science perspective?

What interdisciplinary approaches (e.g., involving linguistics, semiotics, philosophy of language, epistemology, philosophy of science, technology assessment, philosophy of technology, futures studies, media studies, education sciences, and others) are most promising for addressing these questions?

What ethical implications are inherent in these developments and the corresponding philosophical reflections?
