Both the ancient Greek and Indian traditions primarily conceived of logic as an inherently dialogical process. However, it is the Enlightenment conception of logic as providing prescriptive guidance for individual agent reasoning that has come to dominate research into logics for AI.
In this talk I will argue for a renewal of the dialogical conception. Of course, others have similarly advocated a return to logic as dialogue. However, I suggest that recent developments in AI (and in particular the ethical implications of ever more ubiquitous uses of AI) present novel and more compelling arguments for developing communicative accounts of multi-agent reasoning that build on dialogical formalisations of established logics for individual agent reasoning. I will review progress towards such accounts of distributed reasoning as dialogue, and highlight some of the challenges to be addressed if we are to realise the vision of human-AI collective minds.
