DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>TOPIC</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>We are organizing a conference on questions related to AI assertion (or AI &ldquo\;testimony&rdquo\;). The topic will be addressed from the perspectives of philosophy\, cognitive science\, linguistics and human-computer interaction. Key questions include\, though are not limited to the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can LLMs (such as ChatGPT) make assertions?</li>\n<li>Are our normative expectations towards AI interlocutors similar to those which govern linguistic human-human interaction?</li>\n<li>If they differ\, what are the norms of AI assertion?</li>\n<li>Can artificial agents make &ldquo\;dark moves&rdquo\; in linguistic communication (e.g. lie\, bullshit\, deceive etc.)\, or do those require a full-fledged human agent?</li>\n<li>Who is responsible for shortcomings in linguistic AI-human communication?</li>\n<li>How do our normative expectations towards AI assertors interact with our dispositions to trust and rely on them?</li>\n<li>Does the concept of trust make sense in linguistic human-AI interaction?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>INVITED SPEAKERS</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mark Alfano (Macquarie University)</li>\n<li>Jean-Fran&ccedil\;ois Bonnefon (Toulouse School of Economics)</li>\n<li>Ophelia Deroy (LMU Munich)</li>\n<li>Edouard Machery (Pittsburgh University)</li>\n<li>Bertram Malle (Brown University)</li>\n<li>Saskia Nagel (RWTH Aachen)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>SUBMISSION</strong></p>\n<p>Please send an anonymized abstract of <strong>500 words</strong> (not including references) in PDF format to <strong>ai.assertion.graz@gmail.com</strong>.
