Th e project is based on the Aristotelian understanding of benevolence as wis hing the good of another person for their own sake\, and malevolence as wi shing vice or flaw upon another person. The proposed system allows users t o dynamically interact and switch between a benevolent agent that supports virtue and a malevolent one that trains the user's "moral muscles" and nu dges them toward vice through provocation and Socratic irony. Such an arch itecture prevents the risk of moral indoctrination and the creation of art ificial "moral saints\," while simultaneously provoking moral reflection. As a result\, this system is intended to serve as a tool for moral enhance ment\, developing human critical moral reflection and self-understanding.\ n\nSpeakers' bios: \nBartłomiej Skowron is a philosopher and Platonist wo rking at the Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences at Warsaw Unive rsity of Technology\, specializing in the mathematical philosophy\, ontolo gy\, phenomenology\, and AI ethics. \n\nJarosław Chudziak is based at the same university's Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology\, foc using on intelligent information systems\, artificial intelligence\, data engineering technologies\, advanced data analytics\, and knowledge represe ntation methods.\n\nModerator's bio: \nTed Theodosopoulos is a mathematici an who\, after working for years in academia and industry\, transitioned t o teaching at the pre-college level seventeen years ago\, the last nine at Nueva\, where he teaches math and economics. Ted’s research background is in the area of interacting stochastic systems\, with particular applica tions in biology and economics.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/CompMath/32/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
