Persons and their Digital Replicas
Creating a legacy is often seen as a way to circumvent mortality. At the very least, it is a way to ensure that someone’s ideas live on and their influence on others extends beyond their own lifetime. Common examples of such legacies are cultural products, such as books, music, or art, that one creates and leaves behind. In light of rapid advances in artificial intelligence research, it is conceivable that it will soon become possible – and, to s…
Creating a large language model of a philosopher
Can large language models produce expert‐quality philosophical texts? To investigate this, we fine‐tuned GPT‐3 with the works of philosopher Daniel Dennett. To evaluate the model, we asked the real Dennett 10 philosophical questions and then posed the same questions to the language model, collecting four responses for each question without cherry‐picking. Experts on Dennett's work succeeded at distinguishing the Dennett‐generated and machine‐gene…
From Tool Use to Social Interactions
Elaborating on whether we can understand artificial agents as social agents with whom genuine relationships are possible, Anna Strasser addresses the status of artificial agents in general. By suggesting »minimal conditions« for understanding certain artificial agents as »social agents,« she considers the case of "joint actions" as an example of »social interaction.« Thereby, she offers a more appropriate understanding of HRI or the relationships…
Social Robotics and the Good Life
Robots as social companions in close proximity to humans have a strong potential of becoming more and more prevalent in the coming years, especially in the realms of elder day care, child rearing, and education. As human beings, we have the fascinating ability to emotionally bond with various counterparts, not exclusively with other human beings, but also with animals, plants, and sometimes even objects. Therefore, we need to answer the fundament…
In-between implicit and explicit
Research in social cognition aims to illuminate how agents can understand, communicate, and interact with other agents. When defining socio-cognitive abilities, standard cognitivist approaches tend to require demanding representational information processing. Thereby, they describe rather ideal cases. However, interdisciplinary research indicates multiple forms of how socio-cognitive abilities can be realized. Recent minimal approaches offer noti…
