DESCRIPTION:A two-day conference on the philosophy of deep learning\, organ
ized by Ned Block (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York Univers
ity) and Raphaël Millière (Columbia University)\, and jointly sponsored by
the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience program at Columbia
University and the Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness at New Yor
k University.\nAbout\nThe conference will explore current issues in AI res
earch from a philosophical perspective\, with particular attention to rece
nt work on deep artificial neural networks. The goal is to bring together
philosophers and scientists who are thinking about these systems in order
to gain a better understanding of their capacities\, their limitations\, a
nd their relationship to human cognition.\nThe conference will focus espec
ially on topics in the philosophy of cognitive science (rather than on top
ics in AI ethics and safety). It will explore questions such as:\n\nWhat c
ognitive capacities\, if any\, do current deep learning systems possess?\n
What cognitive capacities might future deep learning systems possess?\nWha
t kind of representations can we ascribe to artificial neural networks?\nC
ould a large language model genuinely understand language?\nWhat do deep l
earning systems tell us about human cognition\, and vice versa?\nHow can w
e develop a theoretical understanding of deep learning systems?\nHow do de
ep learning systems bear on philosophical debates such as rationalism vs e
mpiricism and classical vs. nonclassical views of cognition.\nWhat are the
key obstacles on the path from current deep learning systems to human-lev
el cognition?\n\nA pre-conference debate on Friday\, March 24th will tackl
e the question “Do large language models need sensory grounding for meanin
g and understanding ?”. Speakers include Jacob Browning (New York Universi

\\n\\n\\nA two-day con
ference on the philosophy of deep learning\, organized by Ned Block (New York
University)\,
David Chalmers (New York University) and Raphaël Millière (Columbia Uni
versity)\, and jointly sponsored by the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscien

nd Consciousness at New York University.
\nAbout
\nThe conference will explore current issues in AI research from a phi
losophical perspective\, with particular attention to recent work on deep
artificial neural networks. The goal is to bring together philosophers and
scientists who are thinking about these systems in order to gain a better
understanding of their capacities\, their limitations\, and their relatio
nship to human cognition.
\nThe conference 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:
\n\n- Wha
t cognitive capacities\, if any\, do current deep learning systems possess
?
\n- What cognitive capacities might future deep learning systems p
ossess?
\n- What kind of representations can we ascribe to artificia
l neural networks?
\n- Could a large language model genuinely unders
tand language?
\n- What do deep learning systems tell us about human
cognition\, and vice versa?
\n- How can we develop a theoretical un
derstanding of deep learning systems?
\n- How do deep learning syste
ms bear on philosophical debates such as rationalism vs empiricism and cla
ssical vs. nonclassical views of cognition.
\n- What are the key obs
tacles on the path from current deep learning systems to human-level cogni
tion?
\n
\nA pre-conference debate on Friday\, March 24th will
tackle the question “Do large language models need sensory grounding for m
eaning and understanding ?”. Speakers include Jacob Browni
ng (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York University)\,
Yann LeCun (New York University)\, and Ellie Pavlick (Brown U

DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the reflexive nature of consciousness\, whic
h consists primarily in the fact that a state of consciousness has a refle
xive relation to the subject who has that state\, so that the subject can
typically be aware of itself as having that state. Comparing Kant’s\, Fich
te’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of this reflexivity sho
ws that there is a crucial difference in the way the relation between form
(or mode) and content of a state of consciousness is conceived. The first
part examines Kant’s formal theory of consciousness: reflexivity is under
stood not in terms of a self-referential content resulting from a reflecti
on on the state of the subject\, but as the universal transcendental form
that any content must have in order to be representationally significant a
nd potentially conscious to the subject. The second part examines Fichte’s
departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing consciousness: in th
e original act of self-positing\, the mere form of reflexivity is turned i
nto a self-referential content that determines the subject as an object fr
om the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third part examines analy
tic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is often called the sub
jective character) of consciousness on a model of mental indexicality. The
se theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective constituent of cont
ent that\, although often implicit\, can be read off from the subject’s co
ntextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’s theory can be unde
rstood as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspectivism that navigates
between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturalist absolute objectiv
ity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Information\n\n\n\nRegistration is free b

ture from Kant in his theory of a self-positing consciousness: in the orig
inal act of self-positing\, the mere form of reflexivity is turned into a
self-referential content that determines the subject as an object from the
absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third part examines analytic th
eories that explain the reflexivity (or what is often called the subjectiv
e character) of consciousness on a model of mental indexicality. These the
ories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective constituent of content th
at\, although often implicit\, can be read off from the subject’s contextu
al situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’s theory can be understood
as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspectivism that navigates betwe
en Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturalist absolute objectivity.
