Part 2 of this event is available ad free for subscribers now. For our listeners who don't subscribe, Part 2 will be available in our next episode. This event took place in May 2023 in Stockholm. We stand on the edge of a world where technology and philosophy converge. How do virtual reality technologies reshape our perception of what's real? And how does artificial intelligence challenge our concept of self-awareness and sentience? The philosophical investigation of consciousness interact with these new advancements.
Throughout the year, AI development has taken significant strides. We are living in a society that is becoming increasingly reliant on digital technology, which soon could be flooded with computer-generated content. As technology advances, it will become harder to distinguish between the virtual and the real, eventually almost impossible. Is this a cause for concern?
In part one of this partnership with the Swedish publishing house and ideas forum Fri Tanke we hear from keynote speaker David Chalmers, Professor of Philosophy at New York University.
We’d love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be.
