•Organized by Anna Strasser & Eric Schwitzgebel
•Supported by the Philosophy Department, UC Riverside & the
International Social Ontology Society (https://isosonline.org)
*Description: *Large language models (LLMs) like LaMDA, GPT-3, and
ChatGPT have been the subject of widespread discussion. This workshop
focuses on an analysis of interactions with LLMs. Assuming that not all
interactions can be reduced to mere tool use, we ask in what sense LLMs
can be part of a group and take on the role of conversational partners.
Can such disparate partners as humans and smart machines form a group
that takes not only linguistic actions (a conversation) but also other
actions, such as producing text or making decisions? To address these
questions, both the attributions of abilities to individual group
participants and the ways in which the abilities of such groups can be
described will be examined. This raises new questions for the field of
social ontology, namely whether there are “social kinds” that are not
exclusively constituted by humans. On the other hand, debates about the
constitution of groups and their agency can contribute to analyzing the
interactions of humans and smart machines. We expect to promote a
dialogue among philosophers dealing with social groups, linguists, and
artificial intelligence, respectively.
**
*Speakers:*
*Daniel Dennett: *We are all Cherry-Pickers
*Eric Schwitzgebel & Anna Strasser: *Asymmetric joint actions
*Ned Block (online): *Large Language Models are more like perceivers
than thinkers
*David Chalmers (online): *Do large language models extend the mind?
*Keith Frankish (online): *Playing a language game: An interpretivist
perspective on LLMs
*Paula Droege: *Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
*Joshua Rust: *Minimal Institutional Agency
*Ophelia Deroy: *Ghosts in the machine – why we are and will continue to
be ambivalent about AI

The EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a well-established
European conference in the field of AI, hosted by the Portuguese
Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA)
The 22nd edition of the EPIA conference will take place at Faial Island in
the Azores Archipelago, from September 5th to September 8th, 2023. The
purpose of the EPIA conference is to promote research in all areas of AI,
covering both theoretical/foundational issues and applications, and the
scientific exchange among researchers, engineers and practitioners in
related disciplines. Together with the international Steering Committee,
the Program Chairs have selected a number of different thematic tracks to
be featured at the conference, covering a wide spectrum of AI topics. One
of the accepted tracks is devoted to AI, Generation and Creativity.
************
The Thematic Track on AI, Generation and Creativity intends to address
practical and theoretical works related to the use of AI for creative
purposes. The intersection between generation and creativity is fertile
ground, encompassing topics related to artificial creative systems,
generative approaches, as well as human-computer co-creation.
We welcome papers describing original research in the following topics (but
not limited to):
– Artificial creative systems in domains such as visual arts,
architecture, design, sound art, music, poetry, narrative, games, and
science
– Creative and Generative AI
– Computational models of creativity
– Evaluation of artificial creative systems
– Human-computer collaboration and co-creation
– Social and ethical aspects of computational creativity.

Because of the two thematic focuses of the workshop (animal consciousness & artificial consciousness), we especially welcome submissions that discuss these issues from a comparative perspective. That is, although submissions may focus exclusively on animal consciousness or artificial consciousness, respectively, submissions that cover both topics will be given priority.
Authors of accepted submissions will receive a (partial) reimbursement of their travel expenses for accommodation (up to two nights) and transportation (receipts are required). More specifically, we offer the following financial support:
Up to 150 € for participants from Germany, 250 € for participants from the rest of Europe, and 350 € for participants from the rest of the world.
