Exploring the evolution of AI - between humanity and superintelligence

Philosophical reflections on the future of artificial intelligence range from optimistic visions of support to dystopian concerns about controllability. Can AI systems develop complex emotions and states of consciousness? What psychological aspects need to be studied to understand potential emotions of AI and what ethical questions do they raise? The discussion will explore the evolution of artificial intelligence from its current applications to a hypothetical superintelligence and its impact on our society. Beau Lotto, neuroscientist, founder & CEO Lab of Misfits, Ana Simic, CEO Engage, Henry Dobson, founder Institute of Technological Ethics, and Kai Herzberger, Group Director DACH & EMEA Commerce Meta, will discuss this.
