**Final Call** *Title:* Mindscapes: Culture, AI, and Human Minds Workshop *Date:* 12th March 2024
*Location:* Macquarie University *Abstract:* In the age of intertwined human and AI-generated content, the Mindscapes workshop aims to explore the impact of these interactions on cultural practices. Language Models (LLMs), if skewed towards Western perspectives, inadvertently constrain self-determination in our agency to contribute to the meaning-making within our cultural practices, narratives and knowledges. This philosophical inquiry has profound societal implications in various societal domains. Can we achieve culturally sensitive AI design? This conference focuses on the interplay of culture, minds, and AI, aiming for a clearer understanding of its impact on cultural identities and human flourishing. *Confirmed Speakers:* - *Shaun Gallagher* (University of Memphis) - *Pii Televaki *(Helsinki University) - *Luke Munn *(University of Queensland) - *Fernando Marmolejo-Ramos* (University of South Australia) - *Wendy Rogers *(Macquarie University) - *Tom Froese* (Okinawa OIST) - *Michael Levin *(Tufts University / remote) *Expert Panel of Discussants:* The workshop will additionally invite a distinguished panel of experts who will play a key role in critically facilitating engaging discussions, providing valuable insights to both speakers and participants. *Funding:* Macquarie Centre for Ethics and Agency and the Macquarie Minds and Intelligence Initiative. *Submission Details:* We invite scholars to submit papers exploring the workshop themes. Submissions should address the interplay between culture, minds, and AI, with a focus on cognitive science and cultural psychology. Accepted papers will contribute to a fertile ground for future research endeavors, enhancing our collective understanding of the intricate relationship between minds, culture, and AI. We strongly welcome submissions by non-western philosophical schools of thought and/or from scholars who identify with underrepresented groups in academia. *Submission**:* 300-word abstract to the contact below by *January 3rd 2024* *Contact:* ines.hipol...@mq.edu.au Organisers: Ines Hipolito and Richard Menary -- *Inês Hipólito* Lecturer (a/Prof) of Philosophy of AI Department of Philosophy Macquarie University Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia Room 557, Level 5, 25B Wally's Walk *E: ines.hipol...@mq.edu.au <ines.hipol...@mq.edu.au>* *W:* MQ profile <https://researchers.mq.edu.au/en/persons/ines-hipolito> | *www.ineshipolito.com <http://www.ineshipolito.come/>* Co-Founder and VP International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind <https://www.ispsmind.com>
