I joined the “Interself Interdisciplinary Conference: Consciousness and Embodied Selfhood in Biological and Artificial Agents” conference at the University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal. This conference was organized by Prof. Anna Ciaunica.
Interself Interdisciplinary Conference
The topics include functions of conscious vision, biological self-organizing systems, sense of agency, conscious models, action modeling in robots, social cognition and embodiment, interpersonal coordination, thinking and behavior, and dance expression with AI. All of these are highly interesting talks, aligning with my own research interests.
Abstract:
When humans integrate with computers, to what extent are we still ourselves? Computers are no longer just tools for humans, but are deeply intervening in our bodies and behavior. When humans integrate with computers and acquire abilities and different bodies beyond what we currently possess, how do we define our own humanity? I am researching “Cybernetic Humanity,” which is a new concept of humanity that emerges from the integration of humans and computers, through the intersection of computer science and human science. My talk will include 1) action in the human-computer integration, 2) body in virtual reality and 3) identity of the face in human-AI integration. Then I will discuss dynamics of humanity that are woven by the integration of humans and computers.
