“AI Virtue: ‘Good’ Knowledge in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” recorded talk delivered remotely for forum on “AI Next: Key Questions and Philosophical Responses”of the Fangtang Institute, Tsinghua U., ” 23 June 2026.

  • Abstract: In the age of AI, what will be good knowledge? Alan Liu applies digital humanities methods to map epistemic virtues (like “true,” “accurate,” “creative”) used to discuss artificial intelligence. “Creativity” comes in for special attention as an example. Exploring this landscape of value, he considers how a framework might be developed for evaluating the knowledge worth of AI—one less locked into values formed around pre-AI “knowledge work” agents or structures, and more open to the future values of “generativity.”
