- **Event Description**: The thinking capacities of recent AI systems are astonishing.

Even more astonishing is that they emerge from language alone. This lecture explores a radical reframing: that language is not merely a tool we use, but a memetic organism—a creature that co-evolved with the human brain. If so, then embedding this creature in super-efficient learning machines may force us to rethink not only AI, but what we ourselves are.AI, Memetic Organisms, and the Creature That Thinks It’s YouDate: Friday, March 27, 2026Time: 6:30pm-8:00pmLocation: Schaible AuditoriumZoom Option: https://alaska.zoom.us/j/86340280778This event is hosted by the UAF Department of PhilosophyPhilosophy at UAFThe UAF Department of Philosophy encourages students to ask big questions about ethics, knowledge, justice and the nature of reality while developing the critical thinking and communication skills valued across careers.
