Following the success of our series of Symposia on Philosophy of Computing (2023, 2024) — the first event of its kind in Latin America which helped connect researchers and industry experts with people from all verticals — the Research Group on Philosophy of Computing of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is proud to introduce de 2025 International Conference on Philosophy of Computing. This three-day academic gathering is dedicated to cutting-edge research at the intersection of computation and philosophy, a discussion that has never been more urgent. In an era defined by rapid technological change, ethical dilemmas in AI, and the increasing influence of computational systems on society, we need spaces for critical reflection and rigorous debate. As computation continues to shape our institutions, economies, and even our understanding of knowledge and existence, this conference aims to foster deep interdisciplinary engagement on the philosophical challenges and responsibilities of our digital age.

This conference provides a focused space for rigorous academic exchange, where scholars and researchers will explore advancements in the following topical areas:

• Theory of Computation, Formal Languages, Logic, and Foundational Mathematics
• Biocomputation, Biomathematics, and Artificial Life
• Physical and Non-Conventional Computation
• Frontier Artificial Intelligence, Neurocomputation, and Computational Linguistics
• Computational and Non-Computational Cognitive Science
• Gender, Politics, and Society in Computing
• Ethical Issues in and of Computing
• Aesthetic Issues in and of Computing
• Philosophy of Science and Mathematics in the Era of Computing Machinery
• Ontological, Epistemological, Metaphysical, and Axiological Issues in Computing
• Computational Philosophy
• Philosophy of Interaction Design
• Philosophy of Computing and Computer Science
  

To continue fostering dialogue beyond academia, the conference will be preceeded by the 2025 edition of the Symposium on Philosophy of Computing, a free-to-attend and public-facing event which will take place in the two days leading up to the Conference. As a free and open satellite event, the Symposium brings expert discussions to the wider public, making it more accessible to all and offering academics the chance to challenge themselves in engaging with a broader public.
