DESCRIPTION

Explore the Mysteries of Truth and Bias: A Journey to the Heart of Cognition and Artificial Intelligence

Truth and bias are not just abstract concepts—they profoundly shape our perceptions, decisions, and societies. How do our unconscious prejudices influence the way we interpret reality? What is the role of bias in judicial systems and artificial intelligence? How does this notion impact the way we teach, the way we treat patients and the way we report facts in documentary films. This unique workshop delves into the fascinating interaction between truths—whether objective or perceived—and cognitive biases, exploring their impact on our behavior and choices.

Bringing together experts from cognitive sciences, psychology, criminology, justice studies, and artificial intelligence, this event offers an opportunity to explore critical questions:

How do our cognitive biases shape our perception of truth and behavior?
What role do they play in the development of technologies, particularly AI systems?
What are their societal impact for the judicial, clinical and educational systems?

Through engaging talks and cross-disciplinary discussions, this workshop invites you to explore the latest research advancements, reflect on the emergence of biases, and brainstorm solutions to mitigate their effects. You will uncover fresh, interconnected perspectives that will deepen your understanding of how both conscious and unconscious biases influence our truths and decisions. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to participate in a dynamic exploration of human sciences and cutting-edge technologies!

Organized by Master’s Students in Cognitive Science (https://www.ilcb.fr/education/master/) at Aix-Marseille University.
