Description

The capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to accelerate, seemingly at an alarming rate, in both efficiency and ability to mimic qualities and behaviours that were previously considered to be uniquely human. How do we navigate such developments? Is there anything unique about being human or are we merely neurochemical machines that one day will also exist in silicon form? This lecture examines questions of human identity in the light of AI, philosophy and modern neuroscience.
