The Institute of Philosophy presents a two-day event examining how advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping our understanding of reasoning, agency, and decision-making. Bringing together leading philosophers and AI researchers, the programme probes the conceptual and technical questions that arise as increasingly capable systems interact with, and sometimes stand in for, human agents. With keynote lectures by Paul Boghossian (NYU) and Murray Shanahan (DeepMind), and contributions from Adrian Alsmith (KCL), Leonard Dung (Bochum), Nick Shea (IP), Arianna Manzini (DeepMind), Oya Celikutan (KCL) and Zheng Zhang (UHK), the event offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge work at the intersection of philosophy and AI.
Join us on May 21–22, 2026 in the Woburn Suite, Senate House, to explore how emerging AI systems challenge, refine, and illuminate longstanding questions about rationality, autonomy, and the nature of agency.
Registration is required for both in-person and online attendance.
