DETAILS

Join us for the next edition of our monthly AI Philosophy Nights where we attempt communal sense-making.

Each month, we bring together philosophers, historians, technologists, & social scientists for a high-level fireside chat, followed by small-group salon style discussions.

This Session: What the Body Knows

In this session, our founder Banu Kellner sits down with Joshua "Context" Kauffman to explore what it means to be a body in an age of disembodied minds & what happens when AI has bodies.

6:30-7:00pm Doors Open. Drinks & delicious bites will be served. Doors will be closed at 7pm.

7:00-8:00pm Fireside Chat. Banu & Joshua will examine embodied intelligence.

8:00-9:00pm Small Group Discussions. Break into small-group conversations to grapple with these questions together.

9:00-9:30pm Whole Group Conversation. We will come back together to share insights & further questions.

Joshua (Context) Kauffman is the Founding Advisor of the animist family office Naia Trust & Founder of Wisdom VC. He brings a rare vantage on directing capital in service of living systems.

Earlier, Context was part of the founding team of the Quantified Self, a seminal techno-social movement that helped catalyze today's fervor around biohacking, longevity, & functional medicine. He has also led award-winning design consultancies in places such as Rwanda, Cuba, & Kenya, working across city design, urban mobility, public art, & innovation for development.

Banu Kellner is an executive coach to AI Founders building frontier technologies. She is the author of the Superhumanist Manifesto & the founder of the SuperHuman Society, an organization focused on championing a future where technology expands human dignity, capability, & connection.

Sponsored by Imbue. Empowering humans in an age of AI by building tools that give every person the power to shape their digital world.
