Public Event: AI and the Problems of Knowledge

by Jason Means

Dear all, The Knowledge in Crisis<https://philosophy.ceu.edu/knowledge-crisis-project> Cluster of Excellence is hosting its first public event on AI and the Problems of Knowledge this November 16th. Event Description: Artificial Intelligence is in the process of transforming our society. But it also has profound implications for our methods of knowledge production and consumption. The products of recent AI machines like ChatGPT are linguistically impressive and convincing - but they are also full of factual errors which their creators euphemistically (and misleadingly) call 'hallucinations'. Given the extent to which we are starting to rely on AI, the question arises: how can we trust any of its outputs? How do we know what to believe? Is this is technical problem or a social and epistemological one? Technology is also beginning to change our conception of knowledge itself. If someone asks you whether you know a friend's phone number, you may say yes and reach for your phone. Do you really know it in this situation? And if so, what does this say about the concept of knowledge? These and other questions will be introduced in a public discussion, the first public event of the Knowledge in Crisis Cluster of Excellence. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Tim Crane, Director of Research for the Knowledge in Crisis Project, and the author of the leading textbook on the philosophy of mind and AI, The Mechanical Mind (first edition 1995, third edition 2014). This event is open to all. Please register here: https://events.ceu.edu/2023-11-16/ai-and-problems-knowledge Looking forward to seeing many of you there! Warmly, Jason Means Jason Means, MA Director of Management and Transfer FWF Cluster of Excellence Knowledge in Crisis project Department of Philosophy Pronouns: He/Him [cid:image001.jpg@01DA0D9B.2C539CA0] +43 1 25230 7538 LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-d-means/>

The course will be held July 17th to July 28th, 2023 in Budapest, Hungary. The faculty includes Mark Balaguer (Cal State LA), Talia Bettcher (Cal State LA), Åsa Burman (Stockholm), Esa Díaz-León (Barcelona), Alex Grzankowski (Birkbeck), Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU), Michaela McSweeney (Boston), and Asya Passinsky (CEU). Course description: Philosophers are becoming increasingly interested in real-world problems and in how their discipline is relevant to these problems. The recent explosion of interest in social ontology is part of a movement in philosophy to come down out of the ivory tower and engage with issues that actually matter—issues concerning, e.g., race, gender, and social justice. This course will introduce students to ontology, and to social ontology in particular, by delving deeply into numerous important issues in the field.  Specific topics to be covered in the course include the following: social justice, social construction, groups, social structures, ideal vs. non-ideal social ontology, social power, essentialism as it relates to social groups and genders, metaphysical grounding in the social realm, issues pertaining to mental health and moral responsibility, social theories of art, rationality, and mental content, and issues in meta social ontology. We invite applications from graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in philosophy. A few places for advanced undergraduate students will also be available. The application deadline is February 14th, 2023. For more information and details on how to apply, please visit the course website [1].

by Markus Riedl

New Fellowship Opportunities at Remarque Institute View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/647e2e3db6f1/new-fellowship-opportunities-at-remarque-in…> Remarque Institute at NYU /announces our fellowship opportunities for the upcoming academic year./ We are delighted to announce a new initiative at Remarque: *Technology, the Environment, and the Future of Europe (TEFE)*. It involves new, funded fellowships; new programming; a podcast; and conferences. TEFE, funded by Open Society Foundations, will host four fellows per term: one fellowship is forgraduate students <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…>, three forfaculty or non-academics. <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> /*Please also read on for exciting updates to our already established Visiting Fellows Program.*/ *Technology, the Environment, and the Future of Europe* Doctoral Fellows <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> will receive a fellowship stipend of $4750 per month, an office at the Remarque Institute, visiting scholar status to use NYU’s libraries, databases, facilities, and relevant university privileges. Doctoral students must be currently enrolled in a degree-granting program. Visiting Fellows <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> will receive a fellowship stipend of $4500 per month, a studio apartment at no cost (or a housing stipend), an office at the Remarque Institute, visiting scholar status to use NYU’s libraries, databases, facilities, and relevant university privileges. Applications from non-academics for the Visiting Fellowships are encouraged. The Remarque Institute is a vibrant intellectual space and the TEFE initiative aims to allow each semester’s cohort of scholars to work both alone and together, building on their distinctive disciplines and shared interests. Fellows are expected to be in residence throughout the semester; to participate in all relevant Remarque events; and to take part in and contribute to the community the Institute seeks to foster. We seek scholars of the highest caliber who embody the diversity of the United States as well as the global society in which we live. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the profession, across color, creed, race, ethnic and national origin, physical ability, gender, and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis. NYU affirms the value of differing perspectives on the world as we strive to build the strongest possible university with the widest reach. To learn more about our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, please read here: https://www.nyu.edu/faculty/faculty-diversity-and-inclusion.html <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> EOE/Affirmative Action/Minorities/Females/Vet/Disabled/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity More Information <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…> *Remarque Visiting Fellowship Program* We also welcome applicants to our *Remarque Visiting Fellowship Program.* Remarque Visiting Fellowships <https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=071cfc6bc18365bf2aa8d00cf&…>, as always, come with apartments and travel and for the first time also come with a stipend for those who demonstrate need. These Fellowships are intended for scholars on sabbatical leave at their home institutions or with extramural funding or other outside support, though for the 2024-25 academic year, the Institute is able to provide a monthly stipend of $2,000 for junior scholars visiting without sabbatical or extramural funding of their own. All Fellows receive cost-free housing in an NYU studio apartment and round-trip travel to and from New York, and are provided with a private office and modest administrative support during their residency at the Institute. At NYU, Remarque visiting fellows have access to NYU library and other university resources and privileges. We are particularly interested in applications from individuals whose work will be significantly enabled by a period of residency at the Institute. Normally, fellowship applicants must have a PhD in hand at the time of the start date of their fellowship at the Remarque Institute. While our housing is intended for visiting scholars, we do offer a limited number of fellowships per semester to those currently residing in New York, which include office space, NYU affiliation, and some administrative support.
