What is the relationship between AI and scientific knowledge? How can bias in AI be addressed? Can AI predict, influence, or even control human behavior? What is the relationship between mind and machine? Can AI replicate human capacities for cognition, creativity, and consciousness? And what is the future of human-AI interactions?
