The behaviour of quantum systems is said to be random\, the outcomes of quantum mechanical experiments are said to be random\, certain devices based on quantum processes are said to operate in a random way&hellip\; However\, the concept of randomness is rarely made precise in these contexts. Meanwhile\, in another branch of science &ndash\; computability theory\, also called recursion theory &ndash\; a fully precise concept of randomness has been developed\, termed &ldquo\;algorithmic randomness&rdquo\;. How are these two uses of the term &ldquo\;randomness&rdquo\; related? Is the concept of algorithmic randomness relevant to Quantum Mechanics? The aim of this workshop is to address various facets of this question in an interdisciplinary gathering. The event will take place at the Jagiellonian University in Krakó\;w on August 31st and September 1st\, 2026. The format of the workshop will be hybrid: it is possible to participate either in person or online (but the organizers strongly encourage in-person participation).
\nOur keynote speakers are:
\nIn addition to talks by our invited speakers\, we plan a few contributed talks. We invite submissions concerning any aspect of the relationship between algorithmic randomness and Quantum Mechanics\, including (but not limited to) the following questions and topics:

\nArtificial Intelligence and the Philosophy of Technology
\nMarch 5&ndash\;7\, 2027
\nEKŌ Center of Japanese Culture\, Dü\;sseldorf
\nAbout the Symposium:
\nThe EKŌ Center of Japanese Culture in Dü\;sseldorf is hosting a symposium on the topic of &ldquo\;Artificial Intelligence and the Philosophy of Technology&rdquo\; on March 5-7\, 2027.
\nToday\, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives\; examples include search engines\, ChatGPT\, navigation and traffic management systems\, voice assistants\, facial recognition\, personalized advertising\, and more. In this context\, AI attempts&mdash\;by means of algorithms&mdash\;to mimic human thought\, to optimize it\, and perhaps\, one day\, to replace it.
\nThis symposium aims to shed light on the philosophy of AI and technology. It is designed to be both intercultural and interdisciplinary in scope. At its center lie the following questions: What is AI\, and how does it function? What are its ethical implications? Is the term &ldquo\;Artificial Intelligence&rdquo\; a contradiction in terms? Will AI one day attain consciousness? To what extent will it shape our future lives? To what degree is AI an expression of &ldquo\;Western thought and Western culture&rdquo\;\, and how do other cultures or religions&mdash\;such as Buddhism&mdash\;view technology? In this context\, the symposium will also explore the place of AI within Japanese culture.
\nThe following sections are planned:
\n- \;Intercultural Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Technology
\n- \;AI and Consciousness
\n- \;Western Technology and Buddhism
\n- \;AI and Technology in Japan
\nWe welcome submissions from established scholars as well as early-career researchers (doctoral candidates\, postdocs) in the fields of Philosophy (Philosophy of Technology\, Philosophy of Mind\, Philosophy of Language\, Ethics\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Religion\, etc.)\, Japanese Studies\, Cultural Studies\, and related disciplines.
\nCall for Papers:
\n·\; Interested scholars are invited to submit abstracts (in German or English) of 300&ndash\;500 words by September 30\, 2026\, to: hantke@eko-haus.de
\n·\; Notification of acceptance will be sent in mid-October 2026.
\n·\; Limited financial support for travel and accommodation expenses is available for selected speakers.
\n·\; The presentations will subsequently be published in Hô\;rin. Vergleichende Studien zur japanischen Kultur (Hô\;rin. Comparative Studies on Japanese Culture) by the Iudicium Verlag:

\nSymposium
\nKü\;nstliche Intelligenz und die Philosophie der Technik
\n05.03.-07.03.2027
\nEKŌ-Haus der Japanischen Kultur e.V. in Dü\;sseldorf
\nÜ\;ber das Symposium:
\nDas EKŌ-Haus der Japanischen Kultur e.V. in Dü\;sseldorf veranstaltet vom 05.03. bis zum 07.03.2027 ein Symposium zum Thema &bdquo\;Kü\;nstliche Intelligenz und die Philosophie der Technik&ldquo\;.
\nKü\;nstliche Intelligenz ist heutzutage aus dem Alltag der Menschen nicht mehr wegzudenken\, Beispiele sind Suchmaschinen\, ChatGPT\, Navigation und Verkehrsmanagement\, Sprachassistenten\, Gesichtserkennung\, personalisierte Werbung etc. Die KI versucht dabei mittels Algorithmen menschliches Denken nachzuahmen\, dieses zu optimieren und vielleicht eines Tages zu ersetzen.
\nBei diesem Symposium soll die Philosophie der KI und der Technik nä\;her beleuchtet werden. Das Symposium soll dabei interkulturell und interdisziplinä\;r ausgerichtet sein. Im Zentrum stehen die Fragen: Was ist KI und wie funktioniert sie? Welche ethischen Implikationen besitzt sie? Ist der Begriff &bdquo\;Kü\;nstliche Intelligenz&ldquo\; ein Widerspruch in sich? Wird die KI eines Tages Bewusstsein erlangen? Wie sehr wird sie unser zukü\;nftiges Leben bestimmen? Inwieweit ist die KI Ausdruck des &bdquo\;westlichen Denkens und der westlichen Kultur&ldquo\; und wie betrachten andere Kulturen bzw. Religionen wie beispielsweise der Buddhismus Technik? Auch soll in diesem Zusammenhang nach dem Ort der KI in der japanischen Kultur gefragt werden.
\nFolgende Sektionen sind geplant:
\n- Interkulturelle Philosophie der Kü\;nstlichen Intelligenz und der Technik
\n- KI und Bewusstsein
\n- Westliche Technik und Buddhismus
\n- KI und Technik in Japan
\nWir freuen uns ü\;ber Beiträ\;ge von Wissenschaftlern/Innen und auch von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern/Innen (Doktoranden/Innen\, PostDocs) aus der Philosophie (Philosophie der Technik\, Philosophie des Geistes\, Sprachphilosophie\, Ethik\, Metaphysik\, Religionsphilosophie etc.)\, Japanologie\, Kulturwissenschaften sowie aus angrenzenden Disziplinen.
\nCall for Papers:
\n·\; Interessierte sind aufgerufen\, Abstracts (Deutsch oder Englisch) mit einem Umfang von 300-500 Wö\;rtern bis zum 30.09.2026einzureichen an: hantke@eko-haus.de
\n·\; Die Benachrichtigung ü\;ber die Annahme der Beiträ\;ge erfolgt Mitte Oktober 2026.
\n·\; Es besteht die Mö\;glichkeit einer begrenzten finanziellen Unterstü\;tzung fü\;r Reise- und Unterkunftskosten ausgewä\;hlter Vortragender.
\n·\; Die Vorträ\;ge werden anschließ\;end in Hô\;rin. Vergleichende Studien zur japanischen Kultur im Iudicium-Verlag verö\;ffentlicht:

\nThe workshop brings together experts across multiple disciplines &mdash\; cognitive science\, social science\, behavioural economics\, and the humanities &mdash\; to explore the evolving role of forecasting in the coming age of artificial intelligence.
\nA central theme is the concept of collective intelligence and wisdom of crowd &mdash\; the idea that the aggregated judgments of groups can outperform individuals\, even the experts. This underpins modern applications such as prediction markets\, political forecasting\, and large-scale decision systems.
\nA key topic of the workshop will be the integration of AI into forecasting processes as well as decision-making processes in general. While AI has the potential to democratize forecasting and decision-making tools and enhance predictive accuracy\, it also raises important questions about information diversity\, bias\, and reliability. The workshop will feature distinguished researchers\, including:
\nThe workshop will also feature a keynote by Themistoklis P. Sapsis\, MIT &mdash\; William I. Koch Professor of Mechanical and Ocean Engineering\; Director of the Center for Ocean Engineering.

\nThis interdisciplinary conference brings together philosophers\, artists\, and educators to explore the ethical\, aesthetic\, metaphysical\, social\, and political dimensions of games and play. We welcome papers that approach video games as philosophically rich texts and experiences\, as well as work that examines the broader philosophical implications of interactive media and ludic culture. \;
\nWe are delighted to welcome Dr. Alexandre Declos\, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Neuchâ\;tel\, as our keynote speaker. Dr. Declos has published extensively on the ontology and aesthetics of games and digital objects\, with articles appearing in journals such as Journal of the Philosophy of Games\, Synthese\, Erkenntnis\, The Philosophy Quarterly\, and The British Journal of Aesthetics.
\nAlthough the primary focus is on video games\, we also encourage submissions on related domains of play&mdash\;board games\, puzzles\, amusement and theme parks\, and other forms of play&mdash\;inasmuch as they raise meaningful philosophical questions. Preference will be given to papers that engage directly with video games. \;Also\, please note this conference will be entirely in person and there is no funding available to assist witih conference travels. \;
\nTopics may include\, but are not limited to:
\nPlease submit an anonymized abstract of 500&ndash\;750 words.
\nA separate cover sheet should include your name\, paper title\, institutional affiliation\, and email address.
\nThe conference will also include poster sessions. Submissions will be considered for both full presentations and poster presentations. Authors should indicate in their submission:

\nComputational methods and simulations have become a fruitful methodology for philosophers\, particularly for understanding how social relations\, norms\, and communicative structures could and should shape inquiry. Work in computational social philosophy has illuminated phenomena ranging from the epistemic value of diversity and the dynamics of epistemic belonging to the emergence and erosion of norms and processes of polarization.
\nGenerative and agentic AI tools stand to profoundly reshape computational social philosophy in at least two ways:
\nAs objects of study for computational social philosophy. Generative and agentic AI are increasingly embedded in epistemic life: as sources of information\, interlocutors\, surrogates for social participants\, gatekeepers within epistemic communities\, and even partially autonomous epistemic actors. This should motivate a broadening of purview in social epistemology\, which has tended to focus primarily on personal\, interpersonal\, and institutional factors that impact inquiry\, but comparatively less on technological factors. \;
\nAs tools of study for computational social philosophy. These systems can lower the technical barriers to computational work. More interestingly\, they may expand the range of social phenomena philosophers can model\, including richer representations of agents&rsquo\; beliefs and behavior\, more complex interactions and environments\, and even digital-twin-style models of particular communities or institutions.
\nThis cluster brings together philosophers working in\, or seriously engaging with\, computational social philosophy. We are eager to gather a cohort who can bring rigor\, clarity\, and intellectual generosity to advancing understanding in relation to the above themes.
\nWe&rsquo\;re particularly interested in philosophical contributions that engage one or more of the following cross-cutting threads:
\nModeling of AI systems as socio-epistemic phenomena: How might explicitly modeling the effects of AI systems within social epistemic processes challenge\, deepen\, or expand existing understanding in social epistemology and philosophy of science?
\nModeling of socio-epistemic phenomena with AI-based tools: What new forms of social epistemological phenomena can AI-based tools help us represent and investigate beyond traditional methods\, such as typical agent-based models?
\nUnderstanding aims and tradeoffs: How should we think about the tradeoffs between promises of AI-based tools (e.g.\, flexibility\, expressive power\, scale) and other desiderata (e.g.\, robustness\, justification\, tractability\, understanding) that have long been central to computational social philosophy? What can we learn about these issues from the use of AI-based tools in other disciplines such as computational social science?
\nMethodological standards: What standards should guide reliable\, reproducible\, and more generally epistemically and ethically responsible philosophical inquiry using AI-based methods in computational social philosophy?
\nPlease note that\, while we welcome expressions of interest from all disciplines\, this is not a general workshop about AI or AI-based simulations. It is a workshop about how deeper engagement with AI systems as objects of modeling studies and as a modeling tool can ultimately enrich and expand philosophical inquiry.

Computation profoundly shapes how we think\, communicate\, and relate to the world. Yet the philosophical and anthropological foundations of this practice&mdash\;rooted in formal logic and symbolic manipulation&mdash\;often remain underexplored. Computation is not merely a technique\, a cognitive routine\, or a fixed feature of the natural world\; rather\, it is a complex cultural practice that interacts with and structures thought and world alike\, deeply redefining both.
\nThe genealogy of computational thought reveals a crucial paradox: though originally understood as an impersonal\, purely formal device\, computation is inextricably interwoven with human life. From inscriptional practices that encode cognitive strategies to logical machines that simulate universal rules of reasoning\; from artificial neural architectures that fuse mechanical rules and behavioral theory to neuroscientific models that render the brain an algorithmic device&mdash\;computation emerges as a cultural force no less potent than art\, myth\, or language.
\nThe phenomenological tradition offers valuable conceptual tools for grasping the complexity of these practices and their conceptual forms. Husserl&rsquo\;s rarely applied idea of &ldquo\;language as calculation&rdquo\; suggests that symbolic notation functions not only as an instrument of communication but as a medium capable of generating what we might call &ldquo\;computational evidence&rdquo\;&mdash\;a clarity produced through the systematic manipulation of symbols. This perspective widens our understanding of writing in all its forms\, pointing to a dynamic interaction between phenomenology and computation.
\nAt the same time\, the history of logical machines&mdash\;from nineteenth‑century devices to today&rsquo\;s AI architectures&mdash\;highlights a further tension between the impersonal universality and technical reproducibility of algorithmic calculation and the personal construction of meaning.
\nDespite rich theoretical premises\, the practical successes of computation have often obscured the historical‑conceptual background of debates on artificial intelligence. Strictly speaking\, the epistemology of AI stands on behaviorist and cybernetic paradigms that frame cognition and thought as algorithmic processes. These &ldquo\;operative concepts&rdquo\;&mdash\;to borrow Eugen Fink&rsquo\;s distinction between &ldquo\;thematic&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;operative&rdquo\; concepts&mdash\;characterize our approach to classical philosophical problems\, predisposing us to read intelligence\, consciousness\, language\, creativity\, and so forth in computational terms\, thereby generating a familiar vicious circle.
\nIn neuroscience\, the temptation to interpret the brain as a computer raises fundamental epistemological questions. Computational models\, for all their productivity\, may furnish convenient abstractions rather than capture the brain&rsquo\;s actual functioning. Built on data averages and variance filtering\, such models struggle to reproduce the organ&rsquo\;s staggering complexity. These simplifications\, however interesting\, may not reveal an intrinsic computational essence of the brain.
\nTo resist such assumptions\, it may be fruitful to consider computation as a &ldquo\;symbolic form&rdquo\; in the Cassirerian sense: a capacity that not only processes but also structures how we conceive of and relate to the world. The potential case studies are innumerable\, yet the guiding philosophical question should remain the same: Can the concept of symbolic form be applied to the ways different artificial intelligences shape the world? Do AIs in any meaningful sense possess an &ldquo\;external&rdquo\; world? And is this enough to deny that human reality&mdash\;with its perceptions and values&mdash\;is itself shaped by codes\, algorithms\, and digital infrastructures?
\nFinally\, in connection with these questions\, we must investigate the ethical‑political impact of AI: how do algorithms condition our decisions and structure their logical form? Can human beings still be regarded as autonomous and responsible moral subjects in a world increasingly characterized by co‑agency between humans and intelligent machines?
\nThis dossier of Scienza &\; Filosofia seeks to create an interdisciplinary space for reflection that illuminates the historical\, genealogical\, phenomenological\, and epistemological entanglements of computational thought. Our aim is not only to clarify the roots of computational thinking but also to enrich the ongoing dialogue on the role of technology and computation in contemporary culture.

Il calcolo plasma profondamente il modo in cui pensiamo\, comunichiamo e ci rapportiamo al mondo. Eppure\, i fondamenti filosofici e antropologici di questa pratica &ndash\; radicati nella logica formale e nella manipolazione simbolica &ndash\; rimangono spesso inesplorati. La computazione non è\; semplicemente una tecnica\, una pratica cognitiva o una caratteristica immutabile del mondo naturale: è\; piuttosto una pratica culturale complessa\, che interagisce e struttura il pensiero e il mondo\, ridefinendoli profondamente.
\nLa genealogia del pensiero computazionale rivela un paradosso cruciale: sebbene originariamente concepito come un dispositivo puramente formale e impersonale\, la computazione è\; intrecciata in modo inestricabile alla vita umana. Dalle pratiche di scrittura che codificano strategie cognitive alle macchine logiche che simulano le regole universali del ragionamento\, dalle architetture neurali artificiali che fondono regole meccaniche e teoria comportamentale con i modelli neuroscientifici che rendono il cervello una macchina algoritmica\, il calcolo si configura come una forza culturale potente quanto arte\, mito o linguaggio.
\nLa tradizione fenomenologica offre strumenti concettuali preziosi per comprendere la complessità\; di tali pratiche e delle loro forme concettuali. L&rsquo\;idea husserliana del &ldquo\;linguaggio come calcolo&rdquo\;\, raramente applicata alla comprensione della scrittura\, suggerisce che la notazione simbolica funzioni non solo come strumento di comunicazione\, ma come medium capace di generare quella che potremmo chiamare &ldquo\;evidenza computazionale&rdquo\; &ndash\; una chiarezza prodotta dalla manipolazione sistematica di simboli. Questa prospettiva espande la nostra visione della scrittura &ndash\; di qualsiasi tipo essa sia &ndash\;\, suggerendo invece un&rsquo\;interazione dinamica tra fenomenologia e calcolo.
\nLa storia delle macchine logiche\, dai primi dispositivi ottocenteschi alle contemporanee architetture di intelligenza artificiale\, illumina\, tuttavia\, un&rsquo\;ulteriore tensione: quella tra l&rsquo\;universalità\; impersonale e riproducibilità\; tecnica del calcolo algoritmico e la costruzione personale di significato. \;
\nPur muovendosi entro queste premesse teoriche\, l&rsquo\;impatto dei risultati pratici ha offuscato il retroterra storico‑concettuale del dibattito sull&rsquo\;intelligenza artificiale. L&rsquo\;epistemologia dell&rsquo\;intelligenza artificiale\, infatti\, a voler rimanere stretti\, si regge sui paradigmi comportamentisti e cibernetici\, che inquadrano la cognizione e il pensiero come processi algoritmici. Tali concetti &ldquo\;operativi&rdquo\; &ndash\; per riprendere la distinzione di Eugen Fink tra concetti &ldquo\;tematici&rdquo\; e &ldquo\;operativi&rdquo\; &ndash\; plasmano il modo in cui comprendiamo i classici problemi della tradizione filosofica\, poiché\; ci predispongono a interpretare i problemi dell&rsquo\;intelligenza\, della coscienza\, del linguaggio\, della creatività\; e così\; via in termini computazionali\, generando il più\; classico dei circoli viziosi.
\nIn ambito neuroscientifico\, sappiamo\, che la tentazione di interpretare il cervello come un computer solleva interrogativi epistemologici fondamentali. I modelli computazionali\, pur essendo straordinariamente produttivi\, potrebbero offrire astrazioni convenienti piuttosto che catturare il funzionamento reale del cervello. Le teorie computazionali si basano su medie di dati e filtraggio di varianze\, strumenti per mezzo dei quali risulta difficile riprodurre la complessità\; strabiliante dell&rsquo\;organo cerebrale. Queste semplificazioni\, quindi\, per quanto preziose\, potrebbero non rivelare un&rsquo\;essenza computazionale intrinseca del cervello.
\nPer scongiurare assunzioni di questo tipo\, può\; essere opportuno considerare la computazione come &ldquo\;forma simbolica&rdquo\; \; \;nel senso cassireriano\, ovverosia nei termini di una capacità\; che non solo elabora\, ma struttura il modo in cui concepiamo e ci rapportiamo al mondo. I casi di studio a cui applicare quest&rsquo\;idea sono potenzialmente innumerevoli\, ma la domanda filosofica guida dovrebbe rimanere la stessa: si può\; applicare il concetto di forma simbolica al modo in cui le diverse intelligenze artificiali plasmano il mondo? Esiste realmente un mondo &ldquo\;esterno&rdquo\; per le intelligenze artificiali? E questo basta a negare che la realtà\; umana\, con le sue percezioni e i suoi valori\, non sia plasmata da codici\, algoritmi e infrastrutture digitali?
\nIn relazione a quest&rsquo\;ultima domanda\, occorrerà\; infine indagare l&rsquo\;impatto etico-politico dell&rsquo\;intelligenza artificiale: in che modo gli algoritmi condizionano le nostre decisioni e ne strutturano la forma logica? Gli esseri umani potranno essere considerati soggetti morali autonomi e responsabili in un mondo in cui la co-agentività\; fra uomini e macchine intelligenti caratterizzerà\; sempre più\; la quotidianità\; di tutti noi?
\nQuesto dossier di Scienza&\;Filosofia auspica la creazione di uno spazio di riflessione interdisciplinare per illuminare gli intrecci storici\, genealogici\, fenomenologici ed epistemologici del pensiero computazionale. Il dossier mira a chiarire non solo le radici del pensiero computazionale\, ma anche ad arricchire il dialogo in corso sul ruolo della tecnologia e del calcolo nella cultura contemporanea.
\nSpunti tematici\, non vincolanti\, per la riflessione:
\nSono ben accetti contributi provenienti dalla filosofia (fenomenologia\, filosofia analitica\, filosofia della mente\, science and technology studies/STS\, storia delle idee)\, dalle scienze cognitive\, dall&rsquo\;informatica\, dalle neuroscienze\, dagli studi sui media e da ambiti affini.

\nRecent advances in artificial intelligence&mdash\;especially large language models&mdash\;have renewed foundational philosophical questions about language\, inference\, and knowledge. These systems produce linguistically well-formed outputs and display patterns of reasoning\, yet their epistemic and semantic status remains unclear. Are we witnessing new forms of linguistic agency\, or merely sophisticated statistical artifacts? And what kinds of logical and formal tools are adequate to capture their behavior?
This workshop aims to bring together perspectives from logic\, linguistics\, and philosophy to address these questions. \;
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
\nRe-examining AI / Rethinking Modernity
\nCritical philosophical\, anthropological and interdisciplinary perspectives on technology
\nCorfu\, 22-23 October 2026
\n\;
\nConference scope
\nIn recent years\, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed multiple sectors\, from healthcare and finance to education and entertainment. However\, amidst the excitement surrounding these technological developments\, it is essential to critically revisit the philosophical foundations of this plural technology and\, on this basis\, examine the societal\, ethical\, political\, economic\, and ecological challenges it presents. This conference focuses primarily on this foundational dimension and\, through such critique\, seeks to offer a deeper perspective on the notions\, assumptions\, and frameworks of modernity at large. Which modern understandings of nature\, the human\, intelligence\, imagination\, the body\, the mind\, or reason were taken for granted in the development of what is now called &ldquo\;Artificial Intelligence&rdquo\;? Have these onto-epistemological foundations proved adequate\, or have they produced problems that become visible today through the socio-political\, economic\, and ecological crises associated with AI? Also\, an anthropological lens is crucial here\, as AI exposes how culturally situated\, rather than universal\, the modern Western assumptions about the human\, reason\, and technological agency have always been. \;By bringing these foundations into dialogue with alternative anthropologies\, including non-Western and Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies\, the conference also seeks to rethink entrenched West/East divides that structure contemporary imaginaries of both "intelligence" and technological "progress".
\nWhile we wish to approach AI with a critical lens\, this conference is not grounded in technophobia or anti-AI sentiment. We recognize the transformative reality and potential of AI but we don&rsquo\;t align with neo-Luddite efforts to &ldquo\;destroy&rdquo\; or reject this technology altogether. Instead\, our aim is to foster a constructive dialogue that acknowledges AI&rsquo\;s profound influence on our lives while addressing its underlying ontological and epistemological challenges. By bringing together scholars\, researchers\, and practitioners from diverse fields\, this conference seeks to refine our understanding of AI while also identifying flaws within our current phase of modernity that become visible through the global impact of this technology.
\nCall for papers
\nIn this context\, we invite scholars\, researchers\, and thinkers to contribute to a critical examination of Artificial Intelligence in all its forms at our upcoming Critical philosophical\, anthropological and interdisciplinary perspectives on technology international conference.
\nWe are particularly interested in papers that interrogate (but are not limited to) the following areas:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Philosophical and Ontological Foundations of AI.
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Alternative ontologies and/or epistemologies that can either stand as foundations for (a different) AI or critique current AI.
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; AI and Modernity (drawing lines between modern thinkers and contemporary AI).
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Socio-Political\, Economic\, and Ecological Implications based on elements of AI that stem from ideas rooted in modernity).
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Epistemology and Knowledge Production in the Age of AI.
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Constructive Critique Beyond Technophobia (grounded in renewed modern theories -Critical Theory\, Phenomenology\, Anthropology of Technology\, Bergsonian Vitalism\, etc.- or in thinkers who were previously overlooked or not typically associated with AI).
\nThis conference focuses on theoretical approaches to Artificial Intelligence and in this context\, we welcome contributions from a range of fields\, including philosophy\, anthropology\, sociology\, media studies\, and cultural theory\, but despite its theoretical orientation\, the conference also welcomes technical approaches\, as well as contributions from computer engineers\, code developers\, and other branches of informatics\, provided these approaches are situated within the broader philosophical roots of AI. Our aim is to cultivate a space for critical engagement with AI\, which\, while informed by its technical foundations\, transcends the hype and focuses on the onto-political impacts of this field of study and technology.

\nArtificial Intelligence and the Philosophy of Technology
\nMarch 5&ndash\;7\, 2027
\nEKŌ Center of Japanese Culture\, Dü\;sseldorf
\nAbout the Symposium:
\nThe EKŌ Center of Japanese Culture in Dü\;sseldorf is hosting a symposium on the topic of &ldquo\;Artificial Intelligence and the Philosophy of Technology&rdquo\; on March 5-7\, 2027.
\nToday\, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives\; examples include search engines\, ChatGPT\, navigation and traffic management systems\, voice assistants\, facial recognition\, personalized advertising\, and more. In this context\, AI attempts&mdash\;by means of algorithms&mdash\;to mimic human thought\, to optimize it\, and perhaps\, one day\, to replace it.
\nThis symposium aims to shed light on the philosophy of AI and technology. It is designed to be both intercultural and interdisciplinary in scope. At its center lie the following questions: What is AI\, and how does it function? What are its ethical implications? Is the term &ldquo\;Artificial Intelligence&rdquo\; a contradiction in terms? Will AI one day attain consciousness? To what extent will it shape our future lives? To what degree is AI an expression of &ldquo\;Western thought and Western culture&rdquo\;\, and how do other cultures or religions&mdash\;such as Buddhism&mdash\;view technology? In this context\, the symposium will also explore the place of AI within Japanese culture.
\nThe following sections are planned:
\n- \;Intercultural Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Technology
\n- \;AI and Consciousness
\n- \;Western Technology and Buddhism
\n- \;AI and Technology in Japan
\nWe welcome submissions from established scholars as well as early-career researchers (doctoral candidates\, postdocs) in the fields of Philosophy (Philosophy of Technology\, Philosophy of Mind\, Philosophy of Language\, Ethics\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Religion\, etc.)\, Japanese Studies\, Cultural Studies\, and related disciplines.

\nSymposium
\nKü\;nstliche Intelligenz und die Philosophie der Technik
\n05.03.-07.03.2027
\nEKŌ-Haus der Japanischen Kultur e.V. in Dü\;sseldorf
\n\;
\nÜ\;ber das Symposium:
\nDas EKŌ-Haus der Japanischen Kultur e.V. in Dü\;sseldorf veranstaltet vom 05.03. bis zum 07.03.2027 ein Symposium zum Thema &bdquo\;Kü\;nstliche Intelligenz und die Philosophie der Technik&ldquo\;.
\nKü\;nstliche Intelligenz ist heutzutage aus dem Alltag der Menschen nicht mehr wegzudenken\, Beispiele sind Suchmaschinen\, ChatGPT\, Navigation und Verkehrsmanagement\, Sprachassistenten\, Gesichtserkennung\, personalisierte Werbung etc. Die KI versucht dabei mittels Algorithmen menschliches Denken nachzuahmen\, dieses zu optimieren und vielleicht eines Tages zu ersetzen.
\nBei diesem Symposium soll die Philosophie der KI und der Technik nä\;her beleuchtet werden. Das Symposium soll dabei interkulturell und interdisziplinä\;r ausgerichtet sein. Im Zentrum stehen die Fragen: Was ist KI und wie funktioniert sie? Welche ethischen Implikationen besitzt sie? Ist der Begriff &bdquo\;Kü\;nstliche Intelligenz&ldquo\; ein Widerspruch in sich? Wird die KI eines Tages Bewusstsein erlangen? Wie sehr wird sie unser zukü\;nftiges Leben bestimmen? Inwieweit ist die KI Ausdruck des &bdquo\;westlichen Denkens und der westlichen Kultur&ldquo\; und wie betrachten andere Kulturen bzw. Religionen wie beispielsweise der Buddhismus Technik? Auch soll in diesem Zusammenhang nach dem Ort der KI in der japanischen Kultur gefragt werden.
\nFolgende Sektionen sind geplant:
\n- Interkulturelle Philosophie der Kü\;nstlichen Intelligenz und der Technik
\n- KI und Bewusstsein
\n- Westliche Technik und Buddhismus
\n- KI und Technik in Japan
\nWir freuen uns ü\;ber Beiträ\;ge von Wissenschaftlern/Innen und auch von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern/Innen (Doktoranden/Innen\, PostDocs) aus der Philosophie (Philosophie der Technik\, Philosophie des Geistes\, Sprachphilosophie\, Ethik\, Metaphysik\, Religionsphilosophie etc.)\, Japanologie\, Kulturwissenschaften sowie aus angrenzenden Disziplinen.
\nCall for Papers:
\n·\; Interessierte sind aufgerufen\, Abstracts (Deutsch oder Englisch) mit einem Umfang von 300-500 Wö\;rtern bis zum 30.09.2026einzureichen an: hantke@eko-haus.de
\n·\; Die Benachrichtigung ü\;ber die Annahme der Beiträ\;ge erfolgt Mitte Oktober 2026.
