AI Philosophy Nights: What the Body Knows
Join us for the next edition of our monthly AI Philosophy Nights where we attempt communal sense-making.
Each month, we bring together philosophers, historians, technologists, and social scientists for a high-level fireside chat, followed by small-group salon style discussions.
This Session: What the Body Knows
In this session, our founder Banu Kellner sits down with Joshua "Context" Kauffman to explore what it means to be a body in an age of disembodied minds and what happens when AI has bodies.
6:30-7:00pm Doors Open. Drinks & delicious bites will be served. Doors will be closed at 7pm.
7:00-8:00pm Fireside Chat. Banu & Joshua will examine embodied intelligence.
8:00-9:00pm Small Group Discussions. Break into small-group conversations to grapple with these questions together.
9:00-9:30pm Whole Group Conversation. We will come back together to share insights and further questions.
