How is Artificial Intelligence reshaping the way we orient ourselves in the world and in relation to each other? Our new seminar, “Artificial Intelligence and Human Orientation,” organized by Dr. Christoph Durt and Dr. Lucy Osler, will explore these questions in depth. Weekly meetings will take place on Mondays, 9:30–11:15 a.m. (US Central Time), beginning on September 15, 2025. The seminar will run for eight sessions.
In this third seminar on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Orientation, we will explore how AI transforms not only how we find our way on the internet and in the world, but also how we relate to one another and how we conceive of ourselves. In all these ways, AI becomes increasingly intertwined with human orientation, reshaping it and raising pressing philosophical questions: How does human intelligence differ from artificial intelligence? How do these differences apply to concepts such as consciousness, thinking, understanding, and communication? Who are we as a species, and what is our relationship to technology? We will also explore how recent technological developments reshape our understanding of reality.
