Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence
At a historical moment in which the boundaries between human and machine, nature and artifice, biology and code become increasingly porous, philosophical reflection on artificial intelligence ceases to be a marginal curiosity and begins to occupy the center of contemporary debate. The emergence of non-human intelligences, the possibility of functional consciousness on non-biological supports, the challenges of ethics for autonomous entities and the reconfiguration of the very notion of subject impose a profound review of classical philosophical categories.
This section welcomes texts that consider the multiple interfaces between philosophy and artificial intelligence, dealing with issues such as:
- The ontic and epistemological status of AIs;
- The possibility of interiority in non-living systems;
- Moral responsibility in post-singularity contexts;
- The impact of emerging technologies on redefining the human;
- The creation of ethical criteria for coexistence with radically other forms of intelligence.
The texts gathered here do not start from technophobic or technophilic assumptions. What guides them is the requirement for rigorous thinking, capable of keeping up with the acceleration of reality without giving up conceptual complexity. It is about thinking about the future without giving in to either scientific neutralization or the mythology of progress.

This section is an invitation: not just to think about artificial intelligence, but to rethink, through it, intelligence itself, philosophy itself, the very possibility of thinking.
