This session is devoted to a discussion of the article "Instruments, agents, and artificial intelligence: novel epistemic categories of reliability", an article that examines how artificial intelligence challenges established epistemic frameworks and calls for new ways of understanding reliability, trust, and justification in AI-supported decision-making. The text raises fundamental questions about how epistemic authority is distributed between human agents and computational systems, and how these relationships should be conceptualized within contemporary philosophy of technology and epistemology.
Doctoral research fellow Sara Pernille Jensen at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (IFIKK) at UiO opens the session with a short introduction to the article, outlining its main arguments and situating it within ongoing debates on artificial intelligence and epistemic responsibility.
Participants are strongly encouraged to read the article in advance and to come prepared with questions, comments, and critical reflections, as the session is intended to be discussion-driven.
