AI & Understanding: Between Science, Logic, and Cognition

This workshop examines the concept of understanding in artificial intelligence from an interdisciplinary perspective, situated at the intersection of computer science, formal logic, and cognitive science. It aims to critically analyze the theoretical foundations and conceptual assumptions underlying contemporary AI systems with respect to understanding and cognition. By bringing together scientific, logical, and cognitive perspectives, the workshop provides a forum for rigorous discussion on the possibilities and limitations of understanding in the context of AI, as well as its broader epistemological implications.
