Professor Catrin Misselhorn gives this lecture as part of the SHS course "Men/machine" run by Dominique Kunz Westerhoff and Romain Bionda. This course brings together cultural (particularly in the fields of literature and art), social and scientific approaches to consider the issues, perspectives and problems raised by the hybridization of man and machine.
Catrin Misselhorn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Göttingen, having previously held positions at the Universities of Stuttgart, Zürich, Humboldt zu Berlin and Tübingen. She has also held fellowships at the Centre des sciences affectives in Geneva and at the Institut Jean Nicod, a cognitive science laboratory in Paris. A specialist in machine ethics, her research focuses on the philosophical issues surrounding artificial intelligence and the phenomena of empathy in ethical, aesthetic and technical contexts.
