Ahoj!
Konference bude i letos: http://beyondai.zcu.cz/ - tentokrat pojedeme minimalne ja a chido, budeme radi, kdyz se pridate (ctvrtek/patek 5.-6. listopadu). Jednu z keynotes bude mit Kevin Warwick.
The second annual international conference Beyond AI will focus on interdisciplinary and philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence. The aim of this year is to question deep-rooted ideas of artificial intelligence and cast critical reflection on methods standing at its foundations.
Artificial Dreams epitomize our controversial quest for non-biological intelligence, and therefore we encourage prospective authors to fully exploit this controversy in their papers. Interdisciplinary dialogue between experts from engineering, natural sciences and humanities is strongly encouraged.
Contributions to the following topics are welcomed:
Social and Cultural Discourse of AI (social and narrative construction of AI success, ethical challenges of AI, science fiction as social reality, AI as Imitatio Dei, cyborg myths)
Dystopic and Utopic Visions of AI (singularitarianism, posthumanism, march of the machines)
AI versus IA (intelligence amplification, AI-based cognitive enhancement, brain-computer interface, embodied cognitive science)
Digital Immortality (mind-uploading, whole brain emulation, natural mind in artificial body)
AI and Art (second life dreaming, aesthetics of computer-human contacts, cyberpunk art, machines as artists)
The official language of the conference is English. The papers recommended by the Programme Committee on the basis of a double-blind peer review process will be published in the conference proceedings. After the conference, authors of the best papers will have an opportunity to extend their papers and include them in the proceedings that will be offered to Springer for publication.
