Carlos Montemayor is a professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University. He is the author of many articles and books, including his 2023 work The Prospect of a Humanitarian Artificial Intelligence: Agency and Alignment.
Some of the topics we discuss are the centrality of attention when it comes to intelligence, the possibility of being an intelligent agent without consciousness, the threats that AI poses to humans, and the notion of a collective artificial intelligence, among many other topics. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
