Title and Abstract

AI epistemology

How might the use of AI impact the epistemic status of beliefs acquired and held by humans? In investigating this question, considerations on AI errors are used as a platform for discussion of the question of what conditions must be satisfied in order for human AI-based belief to qualify as knowledge. Theoretical tools from mainstream epistemology are brought to bear on this question.

Organization

The talk is hosted by the Formal Methods Research group, Department of Philosophy, King’s College London. Organised by Julien Dutant and chaired by Monica Z. X. Ding.
