This salon discussion is based on a few recently published articles in DailyNous (http://dailynous.com/2020/07/30/philosophers-gpt-3), in which philosophers seek to make sense of GPT-3, a new powerful language model developed by OpenAI.
We’ll start with comments by two of the authors to introduce their perspective on GPT-3, before opening up for group discussion:
A Digital Remix of Humanity | Henry Shevlin, Research Associate, Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge
Language and Intelligence | Carlos Montemayor, Professor of Philosophy, San Francisco State University
We’ll also review a few of GPT 3’s best text creations; feel free to bring your favorite candidates!
Foresight’s weekly salons:
Our community meets weekly on Thursdays at 11 AM PT / 8 PM CEST to explore cutting edge topics & undercover science.
We leave ample time for discussion and socializing so you can meet the brilliant speakers and fellow participants in breakout rooms.
