The intersection of ancient philosophy and cutting-edge technology provides a powerful framework for understanding our relationship with artificial intelligence.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave describes prisoners who mistake shadows for reality, never having seen the true objects casting those shadows. This 2,400-year-old metaphor offers surprising insights into our modern AI challenges:

• How do we perceive AI-generated outputs vs. their underlying reality?
• What happens when AI systems become too complex to fully comprehend?
• Are we at risk of accepting AI conclusions without understanding their basis?

In this presentation, we'll explore how this philosophical framework can help us navigate the profound changes AI brings to our world.
