Issues in Artificial Intelligence: A Philosophical Interrogation delves into the fundamental philosophical questions raised by artificial intelligence. Originating from the third International Philosophy Conference at Tangaza University, this volume gathers scholars and thinkers who critically examine AI’s impact on knowledge, ethics, and human identity.
From the logic and language roots of AI systems to the moral limits of machine autonomy, the book explores whether machines can truly «understand» or be called intelligent. It interrogates the growing tension between human and artificial intelligence and questions the very notion of an «artificial person.»
Edited by Dr. Theophilus Chando, with a foreword by Munguci D. Etriga, this work is essential reading for anyone reflecting on the future of technology and what it means to be human.
