Is AI Extending the Mind?
A Virtual Workshop
April 11-15, 2022
The extended mind hypothesis suggests that cognition does not just occur in our minds, but also extends into the physical world around us. Cognition is then a process involving a system of coupled components that work together to enact intelligent processes.
In this workshop, we revisit this point of view in the context of modern scientific advances. This workshop will consist largely of discussions centered around the main theme of the workshop, with daily keynotes addressing Agency, AI Ethics, and Human Augmentation.
