As part of the CRÉ + Obvia lunch talks, Dave Anctil (Obvia, Brébeuf) will present a lecture entitled “Robopolis. Prolegomena to a political philosophy of AI“.

Abstract: Foundation models (LLM and LMM) need to be evaluated in their growing agential capabilities to understand the ethical and political issues raised by AI. In particular: their abilities to use tools and third parties, to compensate for their limitations and to collaborate with other agents to perform an increasing diversity of tasks. Clarifying the concepts of agentivity and interaction with AIS should be the starting point for any future political philosophy.
