Next Wednesday, July 5th (12.30-13.30), we will have the final lunch seminar of this academic year. During the seminar, Anco Peeters will give a presentation titled “Flourishing with generative AI”. The presentation is based on a Veni proposal which is still in progress, so all feedback is welcome! You can find the abstract of the presentation below. The final meeting will take place in E2.03. Alternatively, you can join via Zoom: https://radbouduniversity.zoom.us/j/84273872756?pwd=UDFETEE0L2hJS1ptZDR3aXNXK2hPQT09. All the best, Nina Discussions on generative AI…

All the best, Nina Discussions on generative AI (GPT, Midjourney, Dall-e, etc.) typically focus either on how such technologies may let us work more efficiently, or on the larger societal risks they pose. Yet, little attention is paid to how the use of these technologies might change us on a moral and behavioural level. I argue that an embodied, ecological approach to human--generative AI interaction helps us to chart these issues and answer the question: how can we flourish with generative AI?† First, I will analyse the types of interactions that generative AI offers by identifying a number of relevant cognitive constraints and affordances. Second, I will develop a normative frame by examining how these types of interactions allow us to cultivate virtues or vices. Finally, by combining these complementary lenses -- cognitive and ethical -- I develop an answer to how these technologies may affect us as moral beings and what we should do to best design and implement them. († Not sure yet if I should leave open the door that the answer will be: we cannot flourish with generative AI at all and we should kill it.)
