A two-day conference on the philosophy of deep learning\, or ganized by Ned Block (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York University) and Raphaël Millière (Columbia University)\, and jointly sponsored by the Presidential Scholar s in Society and Neuroscience program at Columbia University and the < a href='https://wp.nyu.edu/consciousness/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'> Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness at New York University.
\nThe conference will explore current issue s in AI research from a philosophical perspective\, with particular attent ion to recent work on deep artificial neural networks. The goal is to brin g together philosophers and scientists who are thinking about these system s in order to gain a better understanding of their capacities\, their limi tations\, and their relationship to human cognition.
\nThe conferenc e will focus especially on topics in the philosophy of cognitive science ( rather than on topics in AI ethics and safety). It will explore questions such as:
\nA pre-conference debate o n Friday\, March 24th will tackle the question “Do large language models n eed sensory grounding for meaning and understanding ?”. Speakers include < a href='https://www.berggruen.org/people/jacob-browning/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Jacob Browning (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York U niversity)\, Yann LeCun (New York University)\, and Ellie Pavlick (Brown University / Google AI).
\nWe invite abstract submissions for a few short talk s and poster presentations related to the topic of the conference. Submiss ions from graduate students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged. Please send a title and abstract (500-750 words) to p hildeeplearning@gmail.com by January 22nd\, 2023 (11.59pm EST).

The NYU Mind\, Ethics\, and P olicy Program is thrilled to be hosting a talk by David Chalmers on whethe r large language models can be sentient.
\nAbout the talk
\nArtificial intelligence systems—especially large language mo
dels\, giant neural networks trained to predict text from the internet—hav
e recently shown remarkable abilities. There has been widespread discussio
n of whether some of these language models might be sentient. Should we ta
ke this idea seriously? David Chalmers will discuss the underlying issue a
nd try to break down the strongest reasons for and against.
The talk\, which is free and open to the public\, will take place on October 13 2022 from 5:00-6:30pm ET. The in-person loc ation will be Jurow Lecture Hall (inside the Silver Center at 32 Waverly P lace)\, and the virtual location will be Zoom (you can sign up to receive a link by clicking “Register here” below). There will also be a light rece ption from 6:30-7:30pm in the Silverstein Lounge (immediately outside of t he Jurow Lecture Hall).
\n– If you pl
an to attend in person\, please be prepared to show proof of full vaccinat
ion.
\n– If you plan to attend virtually\, please check your email fo
r a link in advance of the event.
About the speaker
\nDavid Chalmers is University Professor of Philosophy and Neural
Science and co-director of the Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness
at NYU. He is the author of The Conscious Mind (1996)\, Constructing the
World (2010)\, and Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
(2022). He co-founded the Association for the Scientific Study of Conscio
usness and the PhilPapers Foundation. He is known for formulating the “har
d problem” of consciousness\, which inspired Tom Stoppard’s play The Hard
Problem\, and for the idea of the “extended mind\,” which says that the to
ols we use can become parts of our minds.

\n div>\nOur speaker on Monday\, February 13t h will be Bianca Cepollaro\, who is a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Philosophy in University Vita-Salute San Raffaele. Bianca will give a talk called ‘(Not Necessarily Credible) Deniability’:
\nDinges and Zakkou’s 2022 analyze deniability as an epistemic notion . For them\, a speaker has deniability with respect to the proposition tha t they meant something just in case their audience does not know what they meant\, possibly thanks to their denial. In this paper\, we illustrate tw o kinds of cases that challenge their account\, in order to argue that den iability cannot be so understood. The first kind of scenario shows how the ir epistemic understanding of deniability does not provide sufficient cond itions for deniability\; the second one suggests that their conditions are not necessary either. Our goal here is entirely negative: we aim to do a ground-clearing job\, providing reasons why deniability cannot be understo od in certain ways\, and leave the articulation of an alternative proposal for future work.
\nWe’re a community of philosophers o f language centered in New York City. We have a meeting each week at which a speaker presents a piece of their own work relating to the philosophy o f language.
\nDuring Spring 2023\, we will meet on Mondays\, 6-8pm i n room 202 of the NYU Philosophy Building\, at 5 Washington Place. Anyone with an interest in philosophy of language is welcome.
