AI Webinar with Marcello Vitali-Rosati

The groupe interdisciplinaire de recherche Intergestes will invite Marcello Vitali-Rosati online for the next webinar in its 2024-2025 cycle of scientific dialogues, with discussants Peppe Cavallari, Joël Colloc, and Béatrice Galinon-Mélénec.

Here is the title and the description of this talk:

"Artificial Intelligences"? Between Wonder and Contempt

On one side, there is immense astonishment: we are impressed by the capabilities of a language model, left speechless by a chatbot that answers our questions. On the other side, a form of disdain: "Yes, I admit that a machine may be able to do this, but it will never be able to do X," as Turing put it in 1950.
Where does this dual reaction come from? What exactly impresses us? In what way do we still feel superior? My talk will attempt to offer an answer to these questions.
