Dialog an Deck: Schwarze Löcher & die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit
Aug 04, 2023 from 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM

Black holes have long fired the imagination and creativity of science, philosophy, and literature. Once they were speculative constructs of general relativity. Today, astronomical observations have confirmed their real existence. Now they raise exciting questions: What is the nature of space and time? What are the limits of our knowledge? How subjective is knowledge? During the Dialogue on Deck, experts will shed light on these closely interwoven scientific, epistemological and theological aspects. Afterwards we invite you to a joint discussion!

Conference: 'Detecting Unusual Consciousness...'
Sep 27, 2023 to Sep 28, 2023

DETECTING UNUSUAL CONSCIOUSNESS: FROM BRAIN ORGANOIDS TO AI SYSTEMS Bonn, 27–28 September 2023 Are some brain organoids, or sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) systems (e.g., ChatGPT 4) conscious? In some cases, it may seem so. But how can we tell? The Center for Science and Thought (CST) at the University of Bonn and the Epileptology Clinic of Bonn invite abstracts for talks at a two-day conference. The conference will focus on unusual candidates for consciousness such as isolated hemispheres after split brain or hemispherotomy surgery, and advanced AI systems (e.g., ChatGPT). The main aim of the conference is to explore cases and investigate what kind of (traditional or innovative) demarcation criteria could be used to detect whether an entity or its local states are conscious. VENUE: University of Bonn (Germany) Sept 27. IZPH philosophy building: Poppelsdorfer Allee 28 Sept 28. Life & Brain Building (University Hospital): Venusberg-Campus 1
