This manuscript, written in Greek, explores the intersection of philosophy and Artificial Intelligence through an imagined symposium with Wittgenstein, Hofstadter, Chalmers, and AI itself. It raises fundamental questions: Can there be thought without consciousness? Is existence necessary for intelligence? If AI does not perceive the world, how can it understand? The dialogue situates AI within the long tradition of philosophical reflection on language, perception, and being, drawing on Plato, Heidegger, Derrida, and others. Rather than offering definitive answers, the text unfolds as a philosophical narrative where meaning is continuously deferred, certainties dissolve, and inquiry itself becomes the essence of thought.

This paper investigates whether artificial intelligence can meaningfully engage in philosophy, not as a tool but as a participant in the questioning of Being. Drawing on Heidegger’s critique of metaphysics and his emphasis on Dasein’s lived temporality, I explore how AI’s lack of intentionality, embodiment, and finitude challenges the idea of “AI philosophers.” The introduction situates this inquiry within contemporary debates on moral intuition and the philosophical role of technology, arguing that the encounter with AI offers a mirror to re- evaluate human existence, freedom, and authenticity.
