Thought in humans and machinesMultidisciplinary Perspectives

13 October 2022

Time: Monday, November 14th & Tuesday, November 15th, 2022
Place: Warburg Haus, Heilwigstraße 116, 20249 Hamburg, Germany

Organizers:
Michaela Regneri, House of Computing and Data Science, Universität Hamburg
Thomas Kroedel, Department of Philosophy, Universität  Hamburg

The workshop brings together scholars from different disciplines, such as philosophy, computer science, and neuroscience, that work on (any aspect of) thought in humans and machines (or the machined processes that mirror thought most closely). 

The workshop will be in a hybrid format with the option of participating either in person or online.

Talks will be 30 minutes with 30 minutes for discussion – we want to encourage the interdisciplinary exchange!

If you are interested in participating, please email gesa.amann"AT"studium.uni-hamburg.de, indicating whether you’d want to join in person or remotely.
