Conference on philosophy and theory of artificial intelligence, Thessaloniki, Greece
3 October 2011 - 3 October 2011
Greece
A conference on philosophy and theory of artificial intelligence will take place from 3 to 4 October 2011 in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be unique among engineering subjects as it has raised questions about the nature of computing, perception, reasoning, learning, language, action, interaction and consciousness. The quest for answers has led to significant research on not only the topic of artificial intelligence, but also on philosophy related to AI.
Classical AI theoretical debates have centred on such issues as whether artificial intelligence is possible at all or whether it can solve specific problems. In the meantime, technical AI systems have progressed rapidly and are now present in many places.
Despite this development, there is a sense that classical AI is still limited, and needs to benefit from other methods and fields. The conference will look at the many theoretical and philosophical problems of artificial intelligence, including social and ethical issues.For further information, please visit: http://www.pt-ai.org/(opens in new window)
