Details

The AI Minds Symposium (AIMS) brings together philosophers and AI researchers to discuss foundational questions about the potential mentality of artificial systems — including consciousness, moral status, and the attribution of mind to current and near-future AI. With speakers drawn from leading institutions across philosophy and industry research, this one-day workshop aims to foster rigorous, cross-disciplinary dialogue at a moment when these questions are becoming practically, not merely theoretically, urgent.




Main Speakers:

•Murray Shanahan (Institute of Philosophy, Imperial College London, Google DeepMind)
•Geoff Keeling and Winnie Street (Institute of Philosophy and Google Research)
• Henry Shevlin (Cambridge)  
•Marta Halina (Cambridge)
•Benjamin Henke (Institute of Philosophy and Imperial College London)

Babbage Bites (shorter talks):

•Shuqin Ma (Fudan University)
•Pierre Beckmann (École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)
