Centre for Philosophy and AI Research {PAIR}

Centre for Philosophy and AI Research {PAIR}

The Centre for Philosophy and AI Research {PAIR} was established in 2022 with funding from a prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Professorship (Prof. Vincent C. Müller) at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, est. 1742). Our research and activities aim to have deep impact towards a better society through intellectual progress in both AI and philosophy. PAIR shapes and broadens the agenda in the philosophy and ethics of AI, through publications, events, and structures. 

The current team at PAIR consists of 5 fully funded PhD students, 1 external PhD student, 4 research fellows, 2 external research fellows, 1 director of research, 1 professor, 1 secretary, as well as visiting fellows (ca. 8 per year). We are planning to grow with additional funding. We offer a stimulating, supportive and pleasant research environment – situated at a lively and modern workplace in the centre of beautiful Erlangen. The working language at PAIR is English.

 

We are very happy to welcome in person our final round of visiting fellows for this summer:

Prof. Dr. Dena Shottenkirk (CUNY Brooklyn College), Prof. Dr. Alice Helliwell (Northeastern), Dr. Adriano Mannino (Berkeley), and Prof. Dr. David Miguel Gray (Memphis).

Together with AIBE, DHSS, and DDS,

PAIR has moved into a new and freshly renovated building at Nürnberger Str. 74, 91052 Erlangen.

Besides our established Research Seminar, PAIR is hosting an additional seminar on recent readings in philosophy of AI this summer semester.

 

The seminar runs Mondays 16:00 - 18:00 c.t. in room 03.01, at Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 61 in Erlangen (or online).

Looking forward to seeing you...
