#1568: A Process-Relational Philosophy View on AI, Intelligence, & Consciousness with Matt Segall


Listen Later

I've spoken to Whitehead scholar Matt Segall a couple of times before, and I was really keen to catch up with him to hear his process-relational and process philosophical takes on AI, intelligence and consciousness. I was responding to a piece he recently wrote titled " The Philosophical Implications of Artificial Intelligence" (full citation below), and it's helped me to ground the conversation about AI that sometimes feels like it easily gets untethered from reality, or just collapses the complexity of humans down into computational machines. There's a lot of more pernicious metaphors that reductive materialists have about humans are, and so this conversation helps to recenter the AI Hyped conversations into a much more process-relational context.
