Aprašymas

Does existentialism have important implications for the field of artificial intelligence?

In this entertaining book of philosophy, Ariela Tubert and Justin Tiehen identify a distinctive aspect of human agency that is currently lacking in artificial beings: the non-rational capacity to make existential choices and change the values one holds at any given moment.

Engaging with fundamental topics in personal identity, philosophy of mind, practical reason, decision theory, and ethics, Tubert and Tiehen dive into the latest work in artificial intelligence and aligned empirical fields. This is a new way of defining "intelligence" in AI research and understanding the use of AI in projects of human enhancement. They address concerns around AI and human bias, question our ability to achieve digital immortality by transforming into machines and explore whether AI poses an existential risk to human beings.

Tubert and Tiehen ultimately show that we can better understand elements of human agency by reflecting on artificial intelligence. Here is an important argument for placing humanism at the foundation of our rational thought and technological development.
