Dr. Sascha Benjamin Fink von der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg wird als Teil des "Philosophy Research Forum" am 12.05.2026 von 16:15–17:45 Uhr in S 72 (NW II) einen Vortrag zum Thema "AI Engendered Epistemic Disabilities" halten.

Abstract: Some interaction with AI leads us astray, from AI hallucinations to misplaced trust in bots. Most of these epistemic risks can be easily amended by further, more virtuous interactions with these technologies, more evidence, or added inquiry. Here, however, I argue for a more pernicious impact: AI engendered epistemic disabilities. These are long lasting impacts on epistemic capabilities of some agents. I differentiate these from the current debate surrounding deskilling/reskilling and illustrate it with a concrete example: AI-generated children’s literature..
