SUMMARY:The AI Symposium: The Path to Artificial General Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:7775 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 100\nNew Albany\, OH 43054\nFriday 4/24/26\, 10:45 am – 1:00 pm\nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, David Staley\, and your fellow participants. \nPlease arrive at 10:45 am. Eat. Mingle. Make new friends.\nWhat happens when artificial intelligence systems engage in dialogue? Join us for this TIGER Talk and find out! \nThis presentation by David J. Staley\, PhD will report on a groundbreaking experiment: three Large Language Models (LLMs) brought together in conversation with David. \nAs the AI models interact with each other\, they grapple with profound questions: What is insight? Can AI be creative? What constitutes consciousness? What role do assumptions play in cognition? What is responsibility? Drawing inspiration from ancient philosophical traditions\, this experimental work pushes the boundaries of how we think about artificial intelligence. \nBased on anthropologist David Graeber‘s observation that “real thought is almost entirely dialogic\,” the presentation investigates whether LLMs in conversation with each other can achieve “dialogic artificial intelligence\,” a path to artificial general intelligence. \n*************** \nDavid J. Staley is a writer\, designer\, futurist\, historian\, presenter\, educator\, advisor\, public intellectual\, and has been described as an “avant garde scholar” and “eclectic academic.” \nHe is an Associate Professor in the departments of History and Design at The Ohio State University. \nDavid is the author of several books\, including: \n\nThe AI Symposium\nAlternative Universities: Speculative Design for Innovation in Higher Education\nKnowledge Towns: Colleges and Universities as Talent Magnets\nAnticipatory Biographies: Personal Histories of the Future\nVisionary Histories\, a collection of his essays about the future\n\nDavid is the host of the “Voices of Excellence” podcast\, and president of Columbus Futurists\, a local think tank.
