I’m co-organizing, with professors Armen Khatchatourov and Shane Denson, Part II of the conference Norms in the Age of Intelligent Machines: Bodies, Knowledge, Governance, held at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers. We have a stellar group of researchers from the US and EU. Program and speakers list soon.
The first part of this conference was held at Stanford University, December 4–5.
A film festival about AI and its environmental and social effects. I was part of a panel at Bio Skandia (great turnout: 500+ in the audience!) discussing hidden labor, human rights, and the future of work. Organized by Francesca Larousa with support from the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory.
I was invited to give a lecture at the Dahlem Humanities Center, Freie Universität Berlin. My talk was titled “The Human as Medium: Caring for Machines in the Age of AI.”
I took part in a panel at Compassionate Societies and Death as a Public Health Issue, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.
Digitalize in Sthlm ’25, organized by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University, and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. I was part of an expert panel on AI and Human Values at Münchenbryggeriet, Stockholm. Here's a video recording of the panel.
How should we think about the fact that posthuman theories are picked up by AI labs in big tech to justify talk of software having sentience, autonomy, being granted moral subjecthood, acting as patients of so-called AI welfare et cetera? Is posthuman thought defeated by its own success having opened up to usage like this? What are the responsibilities of posthuman thinkers now that AI has escaped the lab and is no longer just fun thought experiment but out in the world?
Parisi was invited by the Townsend Center for the Humanities at UC Berkeley when I was a postdoc there. My friend Professor David Bates presents her. My question is at 1:00 h the recording. If you want to skip immediately to my question, here's a direct link to that segment in the video.
