Kant, AI and Moral Agency (1)

Abstract

Throughout his adult life, Kant manifested an avid interest in the latest scientific, political, social and cultural developments in the world. Although some of his discussions indicate a striking premonitory capacity, he could hardly have anticipated the technological progress our world has been making since the middle of the 20th century. This progress has led to many radical changes in the way we learn, communicate, work, travel, look after our health and perceive ourselves and the world around us. In fact, our age of technology has been leading to a deep change in the way in which we understand our agency and humanity. The focus of this panel is on the challenges artificial intelligence raises for our understanding of agency, and the way a Kantian approach can address some such challenges. Papers are invited on the conditions of moral agency, such as practical apperception, moral consciousness, capacity for thought, ability to communicate and relate to another being and autonomy
