دانلود کتاب افسانه هوش مصنوعی خوب -بیانیه ای برای هوش مصنوعی انتقادی

‘There is truth and there is untruth’. I am taking this phrase from a particularly compelling yet also discomforting section of the trailer for the movie of George Orwell’s novel 1984.1 In what is probably the most famous depiction of a dystopian future – written in the best tradition of British anti- totalitarian thought – where free thinking is considered a thought- crime, there was still room for resistance precisely because the delineation between right and wrong was still visible, could still be grasped and used as a catalyst for emancipation. This is a good example of the certainty of a world from which we have departed. The delirious society that we are living in resembles a perfectly staged untruth that we are persuaded to accept as reality. To understand how this untruth came about and how Artificial Intelligence worsens its outcomes for society is the topic of this book. The new techno- politics, driven by this insatiable infatuation with AI power marketed by companies such as X (Twitter), Google, Microsoft and Meta, is the mechanism through which that mirage of a reality is created in such a perfectly organised way that it blurs the lines of our traditional understandings of truth and untruth, power and resistance, subjectivity and objectivity, science and fiction. Big Brother is not only watching us from the outside any more. The present book will show how Big Brother is lodging himself deeply inside our cognitive faculties, almost like a microbe within the neurons of our frontal lobe, where our cognitive functions are processed. This is why I call this first of our concepts for understanding the delirious society psycho- codification. Orwell cannot help us, and nor can the famous poststructuralist French philosopher Michel Foucault, one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. What he called biopower was already intrusive, as Foucault conceptualised power as a gliding phenomenon that is omnipresent; power as a projectile that would discipline and govern our bodies in an immensely flexible and sophisticated manner.2 But even Foucault’s biopolitics was naive, too hinged upon the benign forms of governmentality in the latter half of the twentieth century. The panopticon – that famous architectural construct developed by the British social reformer Jeremy Bentham at the end of the eighteenth century as the ‘modern prison’ – does not begin to explain the immensely minute control that Artificial Intelligence exerts upon us.3 Foucault used the panopticon as a metaphor to explain how the modern individual was ‘reformed’ into a disciplined yes- sayer. By assuming that we are constantly watched, (European) modernity ordered away our human complexities in favour of a docile mentality and utilitarian lifestyle. This is our social reality at the moment. To grasp that battle with a digitally induced, delirious unfreedom is the first step towards reclaiming our individuality, autonomy and agency as democratic citizens. Yes, it is freedom that is at stake, even if this may sound too preposterous a statement at this early stage of the present book.
