A SPECIAL EPISODE TODAY!
Sam Ginn discusses with Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Pierre Cassou-Noguès, Jan Söffner and our students on the topic of “EMERGENCE”
Sam Ginn, Founder and CEO of Vetspire, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, internationally renowned literary and cultural theorist from Stanford University, Pierre Cassou-Noguès, French philosopher and writer and Jan Söffner, professor of cultural theory and analysis at Zeppelin University are in these following episodes of the podcast talking about the four topics of Emergence, Alignment and Coexistence, whereby one podcast episode will cover one topic.
The discussion format stems from Giovanni Boccaccios Decameron: Each of the four speakers presents their own topic, on which they speak as the “king” of this round. Following the king's speech, each of the three remaining speakers also give a short impulse on his topic. Thereafter the round is opened up for mutual questions, including also the audience, in this case the students of our course.
The overall topic in this first episode will be: Emergence, by Sam Ginn

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE PODCAST SEMINAR:
"What is called thinking?" The question Martin Heidegger asked in his lecture of 1951/52 reads like a counter-question to the one Alan Turing had asked a year earlier in his essay Computing Machinery and Intelligence: "Can a machine think?“ Both ways of asking the same question are more relevant today than ever before. The attempt to define ‘thinking’ by the Turing Test has sort of „programmed“ computer development in such a way that software seems to be able to perform more and more human thinking without having developed a consciousness or what Heidegger called a Da-Sein (being there). But is AI therefore really thinking? Or vice versa: Is the human consciousness still needed under these conditions? And what for?The course was dedicated to the comparison and interplay of artificial and human intelligence, addressing the latest theories and newest software solutions. It was designed as a podcast seminar to which proven experts in the field were invited.
In this new podcast, renowned experts in the field of AI will be invited as guests to talk with Jan Söffner (Zeppelin University). The podcast makes a course of ten sessions available to a broader public.
