高等研究所 訪問研究員 セミナー: “How to Think about AI agents”（3/12）
詳細/Details
AI agents increasingly make decisions and produce real-world consequences. This talk addresses how such systems should be conceptualized: as a genuinely new ontological or moral category, as quasi-human agents, or as entities embedded within extended chains of human responsibility. The talk argues that questions of categorization raise methodological as well as theoretical challenges, as simply asking people direct questions may not reflect how they think about increasingly diverse and common AI systems. Drawing on approaches in the cognitive anthropology of religion, the talk examines how to better understand how AI agents are categorized, and how responsibility is attributed to them, highlighting the need for combined philosophical and empirical approaches.
