Details

Generative AI tools are increasingly assisting coders and knowledge professionals on the job. They're also producing slop and fostering delusions. One of the most important questions about these tools is whether they will ultimately enhance or erode human cognition. This conference brings together leading philosophers and scientists to explore the impacts of generative AI on human cognition in various domains, including critical thinking, creativity, and ethical reasoning.
