Speaker: Merlanie Mitchell
Title: AI’s Challenge of Understanding the World
Date: Friday 16 May 2025
Time: 15:00-16:30
Location: Room L1.02, ILLC Lab42, Science Park 900, Amsterdam
I will survey a debate in the artificial intelligence (AI) research community on the extent to which current AI systems can be said to “understand” language and the physical and social situations language encodes. I will describe arguments that have been made for and against such understanding, hypothesize about what humanlike understanding entails, and discuss what methods can be used to fairly evaluate understanding and intelligence in AI systems.
