#19: Is anything objective? Philosophy of mind, Biophilia, and why A.I. is not what we think with Inês Hipólito

Is anything objective? Philosophers Inês Hipólito and Andrea discuss  how Inês became a philosopher and in so doing, discuss the computational theory of mind, critical thinking in the digital age, Wittgenstein, enaction, and how AI might contribute to our understanding of our environment. They move into a holistic perspective on technology, humanity, and nature, emphasizing the need for a philosophy and a technology that rekindles our ecological roots and fosters sustainable, interconnected living. Beginning with the impact of viewing the mind as a Turing machine, it emphasizes how this perspective has shaped the development and perception of AI and LLMs as entities with human-like consciousness and autonomy and calls for culturally sensitive, transparent, inclusive AI technologies that can foster a sustainable, interconnected future.
