Accordingly, it is concerned with questions such as: What are thoughts, perceptions, feelings, (free?) choices and other mental phenomena? Which physical systems possess them, cause them or correlate with them? It would be hard to doubt that humans \u2013 or human brains \u2013 exhibit a broad range of mental phenomena. However, it is curious that no matter how deeply we look into the brain, we cannot directly detect any thoughts, feelings or choices in it \u2013 just neurons firing. Regardless, we know from our first-person perspective and awareness that thoughts, feelings and choices certainly exist. But what can we know about animal brains and minds? And what about machines, computers in particular? Can machines think and feel too, at least in principle? Can they make deliberate choices and perform actions, such that we may attribute moral responsibility and legal accountability to them? Might they \u2013 like animals and humans \u2013 deserve protections and rights? Or would it be a fundamental error on our part to attribute mental and moral properties to machines, present or future? Last but not least, how can we align autonomous machines with ethical values and rules, both in case they understand them and in case they do not?\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"speakers\"\n    >\nSpeakers<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\"><li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Antonio Bikic, LMU Munich<\/li><li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Adriano Mannino, free journalist and philosopher<\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Luxembourg organises a doctoral workshop about philosophy of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1630,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2020-03-02 10:00:00","event_end_date":"2020-03-06 16:00:00","event_speaker_name":"","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg, Belval campus \r\nLearning Centre, room 2.02","event_street":"","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"","event_city":"","event_country":"LU"},"events-topic":[],"events-type":[],"organisation":[24],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
