Seminar Title: Exploring Moral Implications of Collaborative Mind Perception
Speaker: Minha Lee (Eindhoven University of Technology)
Date: Wednesday 28 February 2024, 15:00-16:00
Abstract: We denote other beings to have minds of their own when we perceive them to have cognitive and affective capacities, to different degrees. A chatbot can be perceived to have some level of cognition, but not emotions, for instance. But, this bias can be overturned through how the agent and the environment it operates in are designed. Hence, when envisioning cooperative human-machine dyads and teams, one question can be asked: To what extent should our perception of other minds be calibrated collaboratively, and in what ways? The potential to shape our human perception of non-human "minds" has various ethical considerations to be discussed.
Bio: Dr. Minha Lee focuses on how we can design interactions with conversational agents like robots or chatbots as our moral mirrors. If technology extends who we are, what does it mean to treat AI compassionately or fairly? Currently, she is an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology's Industrial Design department; her academic background spans philosophy, digital arts, and human-computer interaction.
