Artificial Intelligence & Human Consciousness: What Computers Can't Know | Dr Lee Pierson

Author: Ayn Rand Centre UK December 8, 2020 Duration: 1:57:55

Artificial Intelligence has experienced a 21st-century resurgence, but that resurgence has been accompanied by new, insightful critiques that point to biases and other inadequacies in AI algorithms. What these critiques don’t do, however, is make the more fundamental argument that such biases are inherent in algorithms as such. Cognitive psychologists Dr. Lee Pierson and Dr. Adam Reed will discuss this argument and its implications for education and employment.

The Ayn Rand Centre UK Podcast offers a space for deep, challenging conversation. Hosted by the Ayn Rand Centre UK, each episode brings together thinkers and scholars from diverse fields-philosophy, psychology, the sciences, and the arts-to engage in substantive panel discussions and debates. These conversations move beyond superficial headlines to examine the underlying ideas shaping our culture, politics, and personal lives. You’ll hear arguments dissected, concepts clarified, and contemporary issues explored through the lens of reason, individualism, and objective reality. This isn’t about echo chambers; it’s a forum for rigorous intellectual exchange, where guests defend their viewpoints and engage with challenging questions. The podcast serves as an ongoing exploration of how philosophy applies to the real world, from education and social trends to scientific progress and self-improvement. It’s for anyone who believes that ideas matter and who wants to listen to thoughtful, principled discourse in an often unprincipled age. Tune in for a consistently stimulating audit of the ideas driving society forward or holding it back.
