World models are supposed to give AI agents common sense and understanding. This seminar paper measures Yann LeCun's H-JEPA against Stachowiak's theory of models and Baumberger's account of understanding, and asks whether predicting the consequences of actions is already enough to understand the world.
What does it mean to think? This seminar paper explores the philosophy of mind, the problem of intentionality, and what it takes for a mental state to be "about" something — drawing on cognitive psychology, symbolic AI, and Frances Egan's deflationary account of mental representation.
In the world of knowledge representation and retrieval, querying structured data remains a challenge for many users, especially those without extensive technical backgrounds. My bachelor's thesis, Query by Graph, aims to bridge this gap by introducing a Visual Query Builder for SPARQL queries, making it easier to extract information from Wikibase systems like Wikidata and FactGrid.
Recent advances in the implementation of implants that enable mind reading are causing a stir and bringing long-awaited visions of transhumanists into realistic proximity. The fusion of human and machine seems inevitable. But who will control whom?
