Philosopher at the University of Osnabrück 📚 Working on the philosophy of (Neuromorphic) AI, computation, and science. "From simulating to duplicating the brain":
Derek Shiller explores the concept of AI #enbrainment, i.e. " the degree to which an algorithm's major computational parts are carried out by dedicated hardware subsystem" and investigates its philosophical consequences: journals.ub.uni-koeln.de/index.php/ph...
In her paper "Neuromorphic Computing and Practical Medium Dependence" Mazviita Chirimuuta introduces the concept of practical medium-dependence and argues that cognition is heavily contingent on the biological substrate: journals.ub.uni-koeln.de/index.php/ph...
🔥My first paper is out in Synthese — open access: “From simulating to duplicating the brain”🔥 link.springer.com/article/10.1... Abstract below. Would love to hear what you think (and especially any objections / counterexamples). @springernature.com
