| 17:00 | Roundtable Key question: A recurring theme in the corporate marketing of popular AI models is that AI is about to reach, or has already reached, autonomy or singularity — terminology varies. From a more philosophical perspective, one could argue that there is already a certain autonomy to the output generated by these machines: what we might call the semblance of subjectivity. Insofar as these sovereign effects prove sustainable, how do we foresee handling the rights and dignity of those involved in AI operations — including the machines themselves?
