Artificial agents are designed to make decisions. Do they, therefore, have will? How is their process different from human agency?

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence in all aspects of life, the question of whether AI agents have agency is no longer a purely philosophical one, but with potentially far-reaching practical implications.

Join the neuroscientist Peter Ulric Tse to explore whether human consciousness and Free Will differentiate us from the decision-making processes of AI agents.

Peter Ulric Tse is one of the world's chief proponents of Free Will from the point of view of science. His approach combines neuroscientific insight and conclusions of decades of research with philosophy. He is the author of "The Neural Basis of Free Will" (2013), "A Neurophilosophy of Libertarian Free Will" (2024) and "Free Imagination: The Deep Roots of Creativity, Freedom and Meaning in the Human Brain and Mind" (2024).

Prof. Peter Ulric Tse is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College, and is giving these talks in Cambridge as a Leverhume Scholar.

These talks are free and open to the public.
