You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Public Lecture featuring guest speaker Dr Doreen Sesiro, Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Botswana.
Topic: Botho, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Personhood.
About the lecture:
How should we understand personhood in an age of artificial intelligence, cognitive enhancement and digital identity? Drawing on the relational metaphysics of Botho, this lecture distinguishes between being human and being a person - and asks what technology must preserve for personhood to endure.
