CFP: The Philosophy of Generative AI: Perspectives from East and West
This special issue of _Synthese_ invites contributions that explore the philosophical implications of generative AI and examine what philosophy can contribute to its development and understanding. Submissions that bring together Eastern and Western perspectives, fostering dialogue across traditions and intellectual borders are especially welcomed. Please read more for the submission guidelines and more information on the special issue. Generative AI, a rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence, has the capacity to create original and often remarkably convincing content across a wide range of domains. Built on sophisticated machine learning models, generative AI systems simulate aspects of human learning and decision-making to detect patterns and relationships in vast datasets. They then leverage this knowledge to respond to users’ natural language queries in ways that increasingly resemble human reasoning and creativity. At the same time, important challenges remain, particularly concerning the reliability of their outputs, the accuracy of their reasoning, and the explainability of their underlying processes, as well as the broader philosophical implications these issues raise. **Themes and Areas of Interest** Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following areas or domain – Logic: How can we evaluate the reasoning capacity of generative AI? What can we learn from the existing benchmarks established for LLMs? In what ways might it enrich traditional accounts of logical reasoning? How does symbolic logic interface with LLM reasoning—and with probabilistic reasoning more generally? Consistency has been a major challenge for LLMs; what are the best ways to handle inconsistency? As the current face of AI, how can generative models be combined with traditional symbolic reasoning? And how is logical reasoning connected to explainability and causality in the context of generative AI? – Epistemology: What are the epistemic implications of relying on generative AI for knowledge production, justification, and understanding? How can generative AI, with its capacity to generate contents and act as an “epistemic broker”, influence human sense-making? How could it potentially lead to an ‘illusion of understanding’ and/or to undermine epistemic agency? In addition, how could this technology perpetuate existing societal prejudices leading to biased outputs? – Psychology: How does generative AI interact with, model, or illuminate human cognitive and psychological processes? What tools could it offer for simulating complex social interactions and analyzing behavioral data? Could the predictive capacities of generative AI (in terms of memory, cause-effect relationships, for example) rival or even surpass human cognition. And thanks to its capacity to navigate through vast amount of information, could it provide culturally sensitive solutions to complex problems? – Neuroscience: How generative AI help large-scale data analysis, thereby building foundation models of neural activity? Could generative AI models serve as powerful tools for building mechanistic understandings of the brain? Could it help neuroscientists understand trends in understudied problems and inspire future research directions, possibly leading to the formulation of new hypotheses? – Philosophy of Mind and Cognition: given our proclivity to build hybrid thinking systems – that fluidly incorporate non-biological resources with biological ones- could generative AI help transcending our human boundaries and cognitive abilities? Could it favor the emergence of Extended Minds and what challenges may this process pose to our human nature? Exceptional contributions addressing the ethics of generative AI and responsible AI may be considered—particularly when framed through practical issues arising from one of the five key areas listed above. **Submission Guidelines and Editorial Process** – When submitting online through the Springer website, please select “SI: The Philosophy of Generative AI: Perspectives from East and West” in the drop-down menu “Article Type”. – Papers do not ordinarily exceed 10,000 words. – All papers will undergo the journal’s standard review procedure (double-blind peer-review), according to the journal’s Peer Review Policy, Process and Guidance. – Reviewers will be selected according to the Peer-Reviewer Selection policies. – Paper submission deadline: [June 1, 2026] – Notification of acceptance: [Sep 1, 2026] – Expected publication: [Nov 1, 2026]

You're not wrong! Woof is another name for weft.

It just hit me that the reason I sometimes struggle with warp and weft is probably the same reason I very often struggle with left and right. #neurodivergence

AGHRIM

a town of Ireland, in the county of Wick¬ low, and province of Leinfter, fituated about thirteen miles fouth-weft of Wicklow. AGL4.DES, in the Turkilh armies, a kind of pioneers employed in fortifying camps, and the like offices.

i think they’re probably always gonna be a little darker if they use a black weft all the time. also i personally would NOT want to have fucking stock of blankets sitting around all the time, unless they work out a ship on demand thing with you. i also think the demand is probably not there imo

Emotional support weaving: handspun from IxChel's possum blend (tawny) to IxChel's CHITIN blend (the whitish weft - Superfine Merino 60%, Chitin 30%, Cashmere 5%, Angora Bunny 5%). The chitin blend makes distressingly lovely yarn - "distressingly" because now I want more tops for spinning...

Shub-Niggurath, The Shrike, the Boss from Dempow Torishima's Sisyphean (more people need to read that), flukes and firebirds from The Cities of the Weft, the Cyclops and the Erstwhile from the Vorrh books.
What's your favourite monster/creature from literature? I'm thinking Tuunbaq from Dan Simmon's The Terror, the triffids from Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, the demon from M.R. James' Casting The Runes, Grendel, Pennywise, etc.

This👇🏼is important. The GOP, old, young, in between, are racist. It’s been woven into the warp & weft of the party over the past 50 years.
5/🧵 Race divides the Democratic Party more than it does Republicans. Young Republicans remain almost as racially resentful as older Republicans. But among Democrats and independents, massive shifts. White Gen Z independents have lower racial resentment than Boomer Democrats.

It would appear the President doesn’t know his warp from his weft.

Emotional support weaving: the grey weft is handspun IxChel wallaby blend, the tawny stuff (a couple rows) in the shuttle now is IxChel possum blend. I'm not sure I can spin fast enough but this is emotional support fiber, not production. :3

(My husband will not judge me too hard, promise!)
