Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence

This book contains a selection of the very best papers from the Philosophy of AI (PhAI, formerly PT-AI), one of the leading regular conferences in the field of Philosophy of AI. The field finds itself in a moment of massive growth and change, and this book presents highly innovative, cutting-edge research by top scholars. The philosophy of AI is more and more intertwined with the ethics of AI and it now has both a deep impact on society, and on philosophy itself. Containing chapters on classic issues such as machine agency, regulation or bias, as well as new ones like large language models (LLMs), machine agency, creativity and the general ability to have mental states, this volume is of great interest to those interested in philosophy of AI and its impact on society.

Only here can one see in one volume what is going on in the dynamic field of AI right now Offers a cutting-edge snapshot of current activity in the Philosophy and Ethics of AI Contains highly selective conference proceedings with the best of the best in Europe
