The Completeness of Physics

This roundtable examines whether science’s empirical success implies a universal account of reality, or whether reality is better understood as consisting of multiple ontological levels and a plurality of scientific frameworks. It considers tensions between reductionist and pluralist views, and reflects on the implications of these positions for the status of the humanities, the possibility of a unified theory of reality, and the limits of human cognition in grasping such unity.

Embodied AI

This roundtable examines the concept of embodied cognition and its implications for artificial intelligence systems that integrate perception, action, and interaction with the physical world. It considers how technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing, when combined with sensory and motor capabilities, can move beyond abstract computation to engage with real-world environments, augment human abilities, and support complex tasks across domains such as healthcare, industry, and human–machine collaboration.
