THEMES

Participants from all disciplines that are relevant for fundamental
issues of present and future AI, especially cognitive science, computer
science, neuroscience and philosophy. A broad framework is set by
questions like: What are the necessary conditions for artificial
intelligence (if any); what are sufficient ones? What do these questions
relate to the conditions for intelligence in humans and other natural
agents? What are the ethical and societal problems that artificial
intelligence raises, or will raise? Some of the key issues will be:

	- AI and cognitive science
	- consciousness
	- dynamical systems
	- embedded, situated, distributed cognition, extended mind
	- embodiment, enaction, morphology
	- ethics of AI and robotics
	- brain emulation and simulation
	- goals, emotions, values, free will
	- hybrid systems, cyborgs
	- information
	- intelligence and intelligence testing
	- intentionality
	- interactive systems
	- learning and evolution
	- multi-agent systems
	- notions and forms of computing for AI
	- perception
	- probabilistic systems
	- reasoning
	- social impact of present and future AI
	- super-intelligence
	- ...
