Inês Hipólito on Computational Phenomenology, E-Cognition and the AI of Maurice Merleau-Ponty

Dr Inês Hipólito is an Assistant Professor at Macquarie University, specialising in cognitive science and philosophy of mind and AI. Prior to this role, she served as a lecturer at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain. She employs E-Cognitive Science, Complex Systems, and the Free Energy Principle to investigate the dynamic relationship between human cognition and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, Dr Hipólito is also the co-founder of the ‘International Society of the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind’ and serves as the AI ethics advisor/architect for VERSES, a cognitive computing company. In this episode, we discussed computational phenomenology, E-cognition, active inference, the free energy principle, the philosophy and ethics of AI, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Simone de Beauvoir.

Came for Zizek. Remained for her ideas.

[@RahulSam]

Good to hear, my friend!

[@mattiafabbri8944]

I just heard her critique of psychoanalysis. I don't think she understands the concept of unconscious processes overdetermining our declarative/conscious acts.

[@jesseg7841]

Still quite confused about her points of defining a representation and why it’s the wrong way to go about developing tech and approaching certain scientific issues

[@RahulSam]

Could you be a bit more specific, my friend? Perhaps give me a timestamp?
Here's the paper we're referring to for a more detailed analysis: researchers.mq.edu.au/en/publications/an-alternative-to-cognitivism-computational-phenomenology-for-dee

@@RahulSam my criticism was regarding a literal correlation between the mathematical definition of representations and connecting that with computational phenomenology… I was very lost with why there are problems with representations… as I find representations to be very difficult to understand myself… representations can be leveraged as algebras or more commonly as Lie algebra/Lie group structures? I’ve been struggling to understand this area of maths.
