Join us in the MPR on Tuesday, March 25 from 12:15pm-1:15pm to hear from Duke Law Professor James Boyle, author of The Line: AI and the Future of Personhood.
Chatbots like ChatGPT have challenged human exceptionalism: we are no longer the only beings capable of generating language and ideas fluently. Chatbots are not conscious. But what happens in the future if the claims to consciousness are more credible?
In The Line, James Boyle explores what these changes might do to our concept of personhood, to “the line” we believe separates our species from the rest of the world, but also separates “persons” with legal rights from objects.
The event will include experimental AI bots developed by the Applied Social Media Lab.
