Joseph Corabi: Could Superintelligent AI Defeat Itself?

Can superintelligent AI destroy humanity—or will it collapse under its own philosophical doubts? Professor Joseph Corabi, Chair of Philosophy at Saint Joseph’s University, joins Robert Lawrence Kuhn at MindFest 2025 to explore the limits of artificial intelligence, consciousness, and the metaphysics of mind.

Drawing from his presentation, "A Collapsing Superintelligent AI?", Corabi argues that future AI—however advanced—may become paralyzed by skeptical challenges that human minds navigate through evolved psychology. Could superintelligence be undone by its inability to resolve deep epistemological puzzles?

Topics discussed include:

  • Can AI ever be truly conscious?
  • Is virtual immortality through mind uploading possible?
  • Does transhumanism mark the future of humanity?
  • Can theology and Jesuit philosophy shed light on AI, soul, and afterlife?
  • Is there a logical justification for hell?
