Does AI Mean What It Says? With Dr Jumbly Grindrod
This time, we get a philosopher's take on AI.
Jumbly Grindrod is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Reading. He specializes in the philosophy of language and epistemology, which refers to the theory of knowledge itself.
Does it - or should it - matter to us whether AI or a human being is talking, writing or engaging with us?
What happens when we start regarding Artificial Intelligence as sentient or human?
And does generative AI bring anything new, in terms of questions, concepts or challenges, to a philosopher... or is it just a new shape given to age-old questions about what is real and what it means to be fully human?
