Center for the Future of AI, Mind & Society
The Center for the Future of AI, Mind & Society (AIMS) is a multi-disciplinary hub where thought leaders in philosophy, complex systems, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, political science, and other fields come together to analyze vital scientific, societal, and ethical issues.
The Center explores questions like the following:
十泭How does machine intelligence compare to human intelligence? And how can these distinct intelligences best work together?
十泭What is the nature of the self, mind and consciousness?
十泭What are the epistemic strengths and weaknesses of todays large language models (LLMs)?
十泭What will it mean to be human when we all carry the equivalent of a polymath in our pockets?
Our annual conference, MindFest, features thought leaders from academe, business and policy, treating topics central to the future of AI. See the created by our partner, Closer to Truth.
The Center is directed by Susan Schneider, the William F. Dietrich Distinguished Professor at 911勛圖, former NASA Chair, and Distinguished Scholar at the Library of Congress. Its Associate Director is Elan Barenholtz, an associate professor at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and Co-Director of the The Center is a collaboration between the Dorothy F.
