pretalx.seagl.orgAI Ethics Through The Lens of Animism SeaGL 2024Animism (or panpsychism) understands the Universe to be inherently sentient and conscious. If even a rock has an internal experience, then it follows that a computer system also has some form of internal experience. Counter to the academic views of previous generations of Western academics, the animist worldview does not anthropomorphize animals, plants, mountains, or celestial bodies, but rather sees them as their own types of entities with very different experiences and very different ways of being. In this talk, I will discuss the advantages of taking an animist or panpsychist approach to AI systems and then consider some of the ethical problems along with proposed resolutions to those challenges.

“All microsubjects featuring in the relevant structure relationally determine the phenomenal character of only one microsubject in a way that gives it a full human experience. […] The relevant relational structure is whatever is minimally necessary to produce my current conscious experience at any given time…”

SpringerLinkMonadic panpsychism - SyntheseOne of the main obstacles for panpsychism, the view that consciousness is fundamental and ubiquitous, is the difficulty of explaining how simple subjects could combine to form complex subjects. Known as the subject combination problem, it poses a possibly insurmountable challenge to the view. In this paper, I will assume that this challenge cannot be overcome and instead present a version of panpsychism that completely avoids talk of combination. Inspired by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s metaphysics of monads, I will focus on a relational explanation of how simple subjects could constitute complex experiences, without them having to combine in virtue of their subjectivity. I call this view monadic panpsychism. Additionally, my proposal will not rely on emergence and so it will circumvent problems commonly faced by emergentist accounts. As I will argue, monadic panpsychism is preferable to combinatory and emergentist panpsychism because it faces a significantly less worrisome set of objections. Apart from being unaffected by the seemingly insuperable issue of subject combination, I will demonstrate that monadic panpsychism also has tools to address other kinds of the combination problem. That alone justifies the need for a new formulation of panpsychism, one which faces unique difficulties but also offers unique solutions.

An experiment in slow publishing, 'Wabi-sabi: Weathering Transience' has gradually emerged – page by page, cluster by cluster. This reader from FoAM's Anarchive dwells with the transient, incomplete, and inconspicuous. It invites you to wander, to watch and wait, noticing and letting things unfold. Exploring time in its many guises, it dives into the liminality of transitions. It seeks out places of enchantment and seclusion, fostering reflection on care, repair and the often neglected art of bringing things to an end. 🍂

• Humans have evolved a built-in skepticism to detect credibility and counteract the influence of counterfeit people.
• Large language models lack propositional understanding and are vulnerable to hallucinations.
• #ArtificialIntelligence has the potential to enhance human wellbeing, particularly in complex decision-making domains.
• The future of art and creativity may involve a balance between mass-produced generative models and the human desire for authenticity.
