Artificial intelligence raises questions in a new and specific way that traditional human culture (art, religion, philosophy) has not been able to answer in a generally acceptable way. Old questions now have a new context. Human intelligence should verify the credibility of all dimensions of artificial intelligence, that is, that form of knowledge and consciousness that is on the way to outgrowing the possibilities of human abilities.
Human creativity in the mirror of artificial intelligence is used as a symbolic announcement of the speed and inventiveness of operating with a huge amount of verbal and visual data. But what does this 'operability' tell us about human creativity? How much creativity as such is a matter of speed of operation and innovation, and how much of the human origin from which it arises?
The relationship between man and technology has entered a new phase. At this level, machines will not only influence the profiling of forms of thinking, work and creation, but will be in a position to participate in the active shaping of technical devices with a new (technical) form of consciousness.
Neither art, nor religion, nor philosophy answered questions about the possibility of establishing a moral individual who would shape a moral society for two millennia. Have we irretrievably lost the possibility of living in the moral dimension of the world or will the dark side of artificial intelligence bring a glimmer of light into our consciousness about the necessity of a moral dimension in human lives. Perhaps it is AI that will teach us a system of values in which law and politics will not be above the ethical and aesthetic dimension.
Artificial intelligence provides an additional opportunity to question the relationship between consciousness and conscience. In the mirror of artificial intelligence, it may be possible to better understand the reach of human consciousness and the necessity of emphasizing the importance of conscience as a reflection of consciousness as such. A self-aware stance may be the last line of defense against artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence finally raises the question of identity, that is, the authenticity of the actions of each human individual. Just as photography freed color, and film freed prose from description of details, artificial intelligence will also free man from those segments of work that used to be a prerequisite for any creativity. But what will the price be?
In addition to these basic instructions, we will certainly find the following dimensions interesting to consider:
- Philosophy and AI
- Originality of art and originality of works of artificial intelligence
- The originality of imitating traditional art
- The artificially shaped freedom of artificial intelligence
- Morality of machines
- New areas of industrial consciousness shaping
- The limits of artificial intelligence
- Artificial intelligence in education
- Are new value systems being formed in communication, arts, culture?
- Law and artificial intelligence
- Media in the age of artificial intelligence
- The role of artificial intelligence in global economic, political and geostrategic games
- 'Smart bomb' and artificial intelligence
These are just some of the possible subtopics of our symposium. We will gladly accept topics that are not within the scope of the mentioned subtopics, but which refer to any segment of the current moment, past or future of artificial intelligence.
