Mark Coeckelbergh, Professor of Media and Technology at the University of Vienna visited Sydney in November/December 2019. He presented at a Sydney Ideas event ‘Wild AI and tame humans‘ on November 18, and led two research workshops. He has written a number of articles on philosophy and robotics, including ‘Humans, animals, and robots: A phenomenological approach to human-robot relations‘ and ‘You, robot: on the linguistic construction of artificial others‘ in AI and Society.

In the video below I interviewed him about three of his books: Moved by machines: Performance metaphors and philosophy of technology, New romantic cyborgs: romanticism, information technology, and the end of the machine and Using words and things: Language and philosophy of technology.

The visit was supported by the Sydney Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems, The Sydney Social Science and Humanities Advanced Research Centre, and the Sociotechnical futures lab.
