Workshop: 'AI & Mental Health II'

"Psychological effects of interactions between minds and AI"
Part of Meeting KI-Postdocs
(Prof. Dr. Joanna Bryson, Hertie School Berlin; Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Hildt, Illinois Institute of Technology)

The purpose of the second workshop is to explore new perspectives on two related recent topics discussed by psychologists and philosophers of cognitive science: How do our interactions with AI technology shape our minds and affect our mental health? And is cognition (the mind in general) solely realized in the brain, or partly extended into computer technology such as AI systems? Through an interdisciplinary approach, this workshop investigates the nature of people's increasingly more intimate psychological connection with AI systems, the influence of AI systems on mental health, and the potential epistemic risks of so-called 'brain machine interfaces (BMI)'.
