Pia Lauritzen
The Question Philosopher
Workshop
The Room of Hard Conversations
Workshop description
At TEDAI you get answers to questions you never thought of asking. And the questions you do think of asking, AI can answer faster and more convincingly than you or any other human being ever could. But what about the questions you don’t ask to get quick, convincing answers? Where do you go with the questions you ask to think clearly about the existential and ethical implications of AI? Or the questions you ask to connect and collaborate with other people on the problems that have no clear answers? In the Room of Hard Conversations, you will be welcomed by Dr. Pia Lauritzen aka The Question Philosopher. Pia will host four consecutive one-hour debates on provocative AI motions, based on her well-tried Think & Talk concept. Each debate will address one hard AI problem by surfacing and confronting the questions you and the other attendees are struggling to answer.
