Maximilian Seeth
I am by training a philosopher, computer scientist, and linguist with a focus on NLP, ML, and ethics. I provide consultancy services on matters pertaining to ethics and artificial intelligence.
I hold a B.A. in Philosophy and a B.Sc. in Computational Linguistics, along with an M.A. in Philosophy. In addition to my current work, I am pursuing a second master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Computational Linguistics and Computer Science at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich (LMU).
My German translation of the French title Le pouvoir de l’art can be found here: Die Macht der Kunst.
I serve as the editor of dailogues.ai. Please feel free to get in touch if you’re interested in collaborations.

| Sep 09, 2024 | My next talk at Deutsche Telekom’s AI Competence Center is scheduled for September 9 at 13:00 via Microsoft Teams (Please contact me for the link). Title: Can We Trust AI? Abstract: Trustworthiness in the AI scene is often grounded in the notion of having a system that produces reliable and factually correct outputs. But is believing that an output is true equal to “trusting” the system that created it? Human trust is a complex philosophical and psychological notion. Trust may be a state of belief as well as a form of social binding. For example, trust between humans often implies a certain degree of mutual vulnerability. Taking this into account, is it even possible to trust in machines? |
